>On the other hand what is Mozilla offering?

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.

Rust hasn’t been managed by Mozilla for a long time. It got spun out years ago and Mozilla laid off all the people working on Servo

Rust got kicked out of Mozilla long time ago. The developers were let go.
