Well it could be a small list chosen by Firefox as a result of an honest selection of the best options their users would most likely want, rather than just defaulting to the megacorp that bribed them with the most money.
But I'm really solutionising here, and I'm sure some of the worlds brightest engineers can come up with a solution thats better for users than "we default to whoever pays us the most money".
