I don't necessarily agree with their decision, but sometimes you've got to choose your battles, as they say. Maybe they weighed the importance of this issue against the decrease of influence in future (perhaps more important) matters that the alternative stance would have brought in terms of userbase, and concluded that it would have been detrimental to their overall mission? What is your theory as to why they chose to not use their leverage, as you put it? Greed, vanity?

My theory is that they are more concerned about market share and being relevant, then they are about protecting the rights of their users and standing up for what's right. This is a move from the Mozilla Corporation, not the Mozilla Foundation. Losing users would be a threat to their bottom line. However putting the bottom line above their supposed principles certainly reduces their credibility.`
