And by the time you’ve wrapped it up, tested it, made the UI nicer (blur selected text, put a box around what will be blurred, allow for unblurring, etc.), don’t you think there’s something else you could have done for your company that would provide more than $20 value to them?

Myself, I wouldn't ever put this into an extension because I'm certain it already exists and if not, I can bang out the base functionality in a console within 5 minutes and throw a gist in my GitLab or do a URL-JS thingy. 5m is worth $20 to me! $20 is a case of beers yo!
