They don't. They want the user to try it out, to get them get used to a temporary feature. Who on Earth would want to get used to a temporary feature?
Compare it to subscription software. I hate such, I prefer to buy a license and own it forever, but I understand devs gotta eat. With a subscription software at least you know next month/year/whatever you are going to have to pay for access or the next version. With Mozilla Firefox, the feature is... going to be removed.
I'm very curious who came up with this idea. I wonder if its some marketing fellow who has zero clue about technology. Cause it very much feels like a feature from the physical world being applied to the digital one. Improperly applied, I might add.
Or perhaps its a lie to trigger FOMO, and in 2 versions they'll say "ah, due to the great success we are going to keep the feature" or they'll perhaps make it part of Mozilla subscription. Which is, TBH, fair enough, but then it makes me feel like a beta tester. Which is, TBH, fair enough, but be upfront about it and I opted out of beta tests/surveys/etc.
