for me it wasn't developers specifically, it was just vocal users. i've not seen much from mozdevs at all contemporaneously with the discussions.

I can't think of a way this can be construed as an indictment against vocal users, or really, anyone except the developers (or marketing or management from the same organization).
Because every time I've seen Mozilla developers making note of memory improvements over the last few years, I run into someone claiming that every time "Firefox" and "memory usage" came up prior to whichever is current for the time, the developers steadfastly denied a problem.
It's getting a bit like the mythical proslytizing vegan; I've run into far more people bitching about however many instances of fuss-making by however many hostile vegans than I have of actual hostile vegans. (The count of the latter can be described as "basically none".)
