I mean, this is a press release way of saying they're removing Strict fingerprinting protection, not that it's being simplified.
That said, I get it. I have all the fingerprint protection stuff turned on in Firefox, and it breaks a lot of sites. In fact, it hurts the UX of most of the sites I use a lot, and completely breaks a lot of them. There are some critical websites where I just have to load up Chrome if I'm going to use them at all.
And their point about it being self-defeating if so few people use fingerprinting protection that you can more easily identify them uniquely by the fact that they use it. I've wondered about that myself.
So I think it's cool to get rid of it in their browser, and I like their explanation of the reasoning, I just don't like the weasel-word "simplify" to describe it.
