Although I understand your sentiment, Mozilla was blackmailed by Google (using their yearly donation to keep Google Search the default); they were forced to either give up $300m/yr or kill Rust and cripple Firefox development.
Mitchell Baker, the current CEO and the CEO during this whole thing, makes $3m/yr, yet Firefox userbase keeps shrinking due to management throwing the engineering team under the bus.
I think it is safe to say that, although Mozilla isn't a shell company for Google, Mitchell Baker might be a shell CEO on Google's payroll.
