Exactly! I recall earlier a thread in which Mozilla employees claimed there is nothing new about Pocket as proprietary search engine UI has long been bundled. But Mozilla gets hundreds of millions of dollars annually for that placement. If Pocket were paying at least tens of millions annually, advertising it by default would be comprehensible. As is, it is totally incomprehensible. It should be returned to addon status and Pocket should pay to advertise through the sponsored tiles/adsinnewtabs program (which I think is great BTW; I'm not a Mozilla basher).
