Mozilla was supposed to be about the Internet and people, not solely about the Web and the flavor of technofetishism most closely associated with it. Mozcorp's overemphasis on the Web over the last ~10 years manifests in ways that benefit foremost the technological middle class—it's too concerned with impressing existing and aspiring professional webdevs whose interests lie in performative acts of resume-driven development on GitHub and Twitter. It'd be great if that group's influence could be deprioritized and Mozilla finally focused its work on how to better empower non-developers at home and in the office. This won't happen.
