Uh, looking glass was not supported or worked on by the vast majority of the fantastic engineers at mozilla. This was a marketing stunt probably thrown together by a single intern, and greenlighted by an out-of-touch marketing department.

The engineers at mozilla are NOT the problem.

Doesn't the fact that that's even allowed to happen point to a larger problem?

Ah, a privacy oriented browser where a single intern with an out-of-touch marketing department can push crap to millions of users.

Sorry, I don't care much about engineers. I care about people in charge. People high in decision making process. If intern and marketing department are able to do this it's really bad. No number of good engineers can change that.
