This "accident" didn't happen in isolation.

Firefox already ships with telemetry enabled by default, superfluous closed source components (pocket) and a remote control mechanism which Mozilla has already abused "for fun" (remember that Mr Robot thing?).

Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

Go use a Blink based browser whose development and roadmap is controlled by an advertising company instead then.

You've barely scratched the surface of unfortunate things. :) But this particular one feels accidental: Mozilla is in the midst of a PR push on privacy, and presumably they would've known that a GA request would be bad, and would assume that privacy&security experts would immediately look at what their site was doing.
