I feel like this is way overblown but I think the logic here is that Mozilla claims to be an ally of privacy and internet freedom. While Google obviously, does not.

It is not overblown. Many of us powerusers / influencers stood by Firefox because of privacy. Latest failures have damaged my trust considerably.
To add insult to injury I don't see an apology or anything similar from Mozilla (or callahad here on hn) that would show me they understand the extent of this issue - how badly they f* up on how many occasions.
It's ironic, right when browser can finally stand next to Chrome in terms of performance...

Then people need to learn to slow down and back off - my privacy is a major part of my time's value. I will gladly spend a few half-seconds longer to be more private and more secure on an XUL-based browser rather than ever use an insecure WebExtensions-backed multi-process mess that accesses the Web without my consent or control.
