While exploring extensions, I found Mark My Search to be much better than other RegEx extensions.
However, the limitation of assigning custom shortcuts to the extension and Vivaldi's unreliability in working with shortcuts to extensions hinder a smooth workflow.
The built-in feature overcomes all these shortcomings.

They're not mutually exclusive. I'd rather have it built in as well, but until then, that extension is excellent.

It is impossible to obtain "excellence" in 100% of the components of a browser without "helping" with other extensions that have reached excellence, because they are dedicated only to that.
Tell me just one of the features that are included in browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Edge, etc.) that are better implemented than the best extension that does the same thing.
Specialization leads to excellence.

Quality extensions may have more features and options, but what sets built-in capabilities apart is their superior integration with the program itself, reliability, and consistency.
Extensions can break after a browser update or their development can stop due to various reasons, which is not the case with built-in features.
For instance, mouse gestures could be an example of a functionality that works better as a built-in feature than as an extension. Searching could be another.
