Because the things an organization talks about gives you an idea of their priorities and their values. If a technical org you otherwise supported suddenly started posting blog entries about how Hitler wasn't such a bad guy, and maybe they could write a chatbot to help correct misconceptions about Nazis, you would probably change your opinion about them, regardless of how much effort it took to write the post.

Well today, the Mozilla blog is talking about extensions in the Firefox Android browser, so that seems cool?
Equating any of the three examples the OP gave with "Hitler wasn't such a bad guy" is... an interesting take. But nevertheless, you're only looking at one thing. Why not look at the Firefox release notes?

Three releases so far this month! Look at that technical organization iterating on its core product!

It seems more likely that a part of HN needs to learn the difference between mathematics and human language.
Humans in general haven't so we'll hope for a better tomorrow, together, tomorrow.
