What's the purpose of gating "we don’t sell access to your data" by "if switch('firefox-tou')"?

        {% if switch('firefox-tou') %}
          <p>Firefox is independent and a part of the not-for-profit Mozilla, which fights for your online rights, keeps corporate powers in check and makes the internet accessible to everyone, everywhere. We believe the internet is for people, not profit. You’re in control over who sees your search and browsing history. All that and exceptional performance too.</p>
        {% else %}

Does that in multiple places. Maybe they wanted a way to quickly revert it? Or enable on countries where they think they can get away with it?

They said in the commit comment that the new TOU will "roll out" to different people at different times.
