It's my opinion that Mozilla has the freedom to build architecturally

This is an awful assumption. Our business model doesn't afford us the
freedom to ignore what most Internet users want.
Users want easy access to their content from a variety of devices and
services, and to be able to share content in a variety of ways.
These are not business models, they are requirements from our users.
We can bake in crypto and other security measures to make our features
more secure only up until the point that it gets in the way of what
users want from those features (and can easily get by launching the
competitor browser(s) they all have sitting right next to ours.)
