Soon, your statement will be false due to Metamask Snaps feature. Basically it works like browser add-ons/extension in order to support blockchain not supported by MetaMask itself. I say soon since this feature is still on open beta.

Looks like anyone can develop and publish add-ons. The Solana wallet feature is developed by Solflare itself[1]. I wonder if this means they're confident that their native wallet won't lose customers, or is this a tactic to expand their reach? Looks like they developed this in 2022. Hopefully, it won't be plagued with fake plugins when it's officially released. CMIIW.

AFAIK you're correct. But besides fake or malicious plugin, there's also risk owner of the plugin silently changed. It already happened to some Chrome extension[1], where older owner receive deal where they receive lots of money. As for Solflare, i would bet they try to expand their reach.
