unbiased ad-blocking

in this case, this just means they are using ublock origin with default filter lists. my guess for their wording is that they are not doing something like brave (you partially see ads) or like edge and other chromes which use some very light form of adblocking, which ofcourse does not work on their websites.

I’d prefer it be an extension

it is. they are shipping the manifest v2 (the full version) of ublock oob.

Isn’t BSD a sharealike license? So they can’t not

no. bsd (i think chrome is 3 clause, but not sure) is a just as open license like mit or gpl (minus the copyleft in gpl). and the core(ish) bits of chrome are lgpl (not sure. i am taliking about blink).
