Because the MPL/GPL is super restrictive if you’re trying to build any kind of sustainable business directly from Firefox code. Nothing big tech scale, but even just attempting to put food on the table with it risks lawsuits.

You can't restrict what any for-profit entity does with your source code. You have to give it away for free to be in compliance with the license.
