I'm not getting your reasoning, are you saying that because Firefox moved to WebExtension only therefore you should switch when other competing browsers support WebExtension only? (Mozilla are and will be adding more APIs in comparison to other competitors)

One of the appeals of Firefox is its support for Firefox extensions, which have been around for 15 years. Now, Firefox supports no more than what Chromium supports, so any advantage Chromium may have over Firefox in other areas, like better compatibility of the WebKit renderer with many websites, now may become the tipping point for many folks. In other words, removing the old Firefox extension API removes a reason to avoid switching to Chromium.
