This is a good point, and one I have considered quite a bit. To me it is the only selling point for Firefox. But I have to live my life, I have to use my tools, I need my tools to work on my behalf. If your tool sucks so bad that you have to sell it on what amounts to an ideological argument you need to change how you manage the tool. Why can't Mozilla do what they used to do, offer a competitor to google and a proper, working tool that serves the user? Also on that note, if keeping a competing rendering engine is all you need, apple maintaining a walled garden with Safari playing that role. People have to use safari, unlike Firefox, so that role is filled.
