Hold on there for a second.

When Pocket was first introduced in Firefox, the official party line was that it was just something temporary donated by the good people of Pocket to plug a feature hole so that you, dear users, won't suffer much while we develop a proper replacement.

And now this has somehow transformed into a vitally important revenue stream?

Having a secondary revenue other than Google's donations is not a bad idea. Some of us actually like Pocket. My only wish for Pocket to handle links to PDFs
They decided to buy Pocket instead. It's no longer a third-party thing.
