Mozilla owe it to themselves to get as many users of Rust as possible, especially if they intend to use it seriously at some point for their own software. Only languages with strong adoption truly survive and provide an ecosystem rich with effective libraries and development tools necessary for them to flourish.
While programming languages may "last forever", their viability for real software development is very impacted by their adoption. Languages with limited or minimal adoption will not be usable for anything beyond trivial software systems. Just look at the Modulas, Lisp, and even Haskell.
