But wouldn't it be just as good idealism to go all in for creating a truly good independent browser?

Until three years ago or so I think that's what I thought was the idea of Mozilla.

That would require the organization to be ran by engineers.

This is a non-profit ran by those that raise funds i.e. the non-profit parasite class. Those kinds of non-profits are famous for throwing charity galas that cost $250,000 to produce and raise $260,000.
