There was a lot of BS advertising not long ago about it being a web browser "for gamers", whatever that means.

Gamers are easy to market to.

they still sponsors lots of youtubers and marketing now is on tab grouping (available on most browsers), theming (which is weaker than vivaldi, and maybe zen too) and ai (all browsers can open a web chat app). but they market to people who are using edge or chrome by default, and to them, it looks fancy.
