Mozilla at least has done plenty of things to reduce the effectiveness and scope of tracking on the web.
Just because we can't create an ironclad solution doesn't mean that there isn't real value in reducing the usable surface area for profiling and tracking users across the web.
FLoC is an additional means of tracking users that is presently being pushed by a giant corporation who controls a significant web browser, of course anybody who is pro-user-privacy would rail against its rollout. It's ridiculous to call that an irrational reaction.
