This is a red herring.

If we work to usage, we allow the browser market to be swallowed by one proprietary player.

That manufacturer can then call ALL the shots.

Engineers and development have a duty to work according to open standards to prevent this from happening.

Plenty of engineers are responsible for having Chrome where it is now, and keep going at it, by shipping Chrome all over the place as Electron.

Hardly thinking about their supposed duties.

If Mozilla doesn't care about recapturing market share, why should we? Someone should just fork Gecko and make a new browser at this point.
