Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't uBlock the most capable adblock, with others coming close but not reaching it?

Is it? I don't know. I know it's the most recommended one, but I've tried uBlock, AdGuard and now I'm using Ghostery, and I honestly don't see a difference.

You see it in the edge cases I presume, how fast it reacts to Youtube nonsense and such. It is blocked by Google for a reason I would think.

Reacting to YT's attempts to block the ad-blockers faster is a good advantage, but it's not something inherent in the Manifest version, is it?

Well, yes, the reason being: it didn't switch to Manifest v3. Just like AdNauseam. BTW - both can still be installed, you just need to manually pull the .zip file and import it.
