It broke add-ons that weren't being maintained, primarily. It's true that for some users, this would be very unpleasant, but I have five extensions working fine here in 59.0b5 (including important security/usability ones like uBlock Origin and Stylus).

That's not my experience. The addons I use that it broke were all being maintained, but FF57 didn't provide any API to replace what they were using before, so their authors reluctantly abandoned them or provided limited, crippled versions that don't work properly.
