Ok then how if Firefox would only release a critical Bugfix to paying users. Same thing - they would rightfully be called out on that.

Firefox is maintained by paid employees. This is not the same thing. There is no talk of making this a paid only release anywhere. Please avoid strawmen.
That's irrelevant as they're not paid by the user.
That’s absolutely relevant because Mozilla engineers are getting paid in the end. It’s reasonable to expect to get job done for the money. The volunteer devs are not getting paid and do their FOSS job after hours. There’s no obligations whatsoever.
