These are all good reasons to not use Pocket. I do agree that it should be easier to disable. I guess I just don't see it as a big deal because I disabled it ye

  Pocket replaced Reading List, which was all of those things. Pocket was a third party when Mozilla integrated the service into Firefox. Mozilla employees denied for months that Mozilla took money for the integration. It came out later that Mozilla took money for referrals. Pocket doesn't follow Mozilla's privacy principles.[1] Despite that, the Pocket website says "as a member of the Firefox family, privacy is paramount."[2] Mozilla committed to make Pocket open source over 2 years ago. There are no longer plans to release the server-side code.[3] It's a big deal to some people because they trusted Mozilla and vouched for Mozilla to other people. My parents understood "even Mozilla can't see your bookmarks". Explaining that Mozilla could see the new kind but not the old kind was harder.
