Mozilla makes and manages many other software titles besides Firefox. Rust, NSS, etc. Just think about all the current software built on Rust. That alone is a huge contribution to the tech industry and to society, more indirectly.

Unfortunately Mozilla has little input on Rust these days. They fired nearly everyone working on it.

Mozilla is providing a defense card for Google's lawyers when the anti-thrust sharks circle around..
On the other hand what is Mozilla offering? A (now) obscure web browser that has run an Google charity for decades. It's painfully obvious that Mozilla isn't playing in the same category.
