That is the most messed up reasoning I have ever heard. "We will remove this feature because we didn't promote it well." It might be a crazy idea, but maybe we could add telemetry and see if people actually use it despite it being hard to discover.

Yes, that idea is nonsensical. The reason I use FF is because they're fighting tracking and telemetry. Not so they can spy on me.

  Firefox has telemetry, it just doesn't gather data on this feature. It does gather: Interaction data includes information about your interactions with Firefox such as number of open tabs and windows, number of webpages visited, number and type of installed Firefox Add-ons and session length, as well as Firefox features offered by Mozilla or our partners such as interaction with Firefox search features and search partner referrals. [0] I don't think telling if the compact UI was enabled is more invasive than this data.
