It doesn’t speak for Mozilla that even with these people Chromium turned out to be the better option.

Mozilla has been admitting that Gecko is a huge drag since around the time they decided to break the extension model.

Actually, they have said so for much longer. The fact they started writing a completely new engine (Servo) in early 2012 was in itself an admission of defeat -- so many "embeddable Gecko" projects have been started and killed, over the years, that the only way forward is to replace with something new.
