The more I see how Mozilla does nothing to allow Firefox/Gecko/Servo to be a base for other browsers, the more I start to believe that it's not just a problem of not having it prioritized on their road map, but it's actually undue influence from outside the company.
It's impossible that in the 10 or so years since people manifested desires to have a way to embed a browser engine which is not Google controlled in applications, nobody at Mozilla actually realized how good of an idea that is for their popularity, influence, and why not, monetization capabilities.

Yeah, they used to support embedding. But it kept being under resourced, with bug reports and patches often being ignored.
