You're giving Mozilla a bit too much due. This was not just a statement or suggestion but an announcement for the next Monday.
With an internal policy that all opt-out proposals requiring the transfer of personalized data must be discussed with the rest of the team (incl. PR) and publicly, the post would have sounded quite differently.
By the way, in less than three hours, there will be an AMA on /r/firefox with the Project Manager of the User Advocacy team at Mozilla:

- geofft 9y agoSure - but my reading of the article wasn't that it was so much objecting to the announcement but to the follow-up statement that Nightly users are implicitly opting in to a different privacy profile. That's the sort of statement I would easily see myself making to my team's private mailing list, and getting edited significantly before it goes into a public FAQ. I would expect that someone launching a similar experiment at Chrome/Edge/Safari/etc. would make a similar announcement, and then respond to internal feedback internally.
