Of all the things I wish Mozilla did differently, their choice of internal corporate email provider is roughly at the bottom of the list. Using a FOSS solution provides essentially zero benefit to even a fraction of a percent of their users.

Sure, but it undermines their public opposition to Google and their practices. DuckDuckGo appears to operate just fine on Fastmail.
They do not oppose Google. They oppose Google privacy practices,
Why would they oppose Google when they're Mozilla's wallet?
Where else does Mozilla get revenues from?
Their job seems to be to appear to geeks as if they oppose Google whilst still funnelling as much useful traffic/data to Google as possible. Then people who oppose Google can use Firefox, thinking it helps, when it probably helps a lot less.
It would be like a political party being the main donor to the second choice party.
