Maybe it's the fact that 80+% of Mozilla's revenue comes directly from payment by Google who are extremely hostile to ad blockers (and UBO in particular) at the moment.
That should be obvious, honestly. The extension is a threat to the reviewer's paycheck...

The reviewer asserts that the addon transmits data. It does not.
That may not be malice, of course. It could just be incompetence (someone running an automated scanner and not verifying that the results are correct), someone trusted with a job they're not capable of doing, or maybe it's just Mozilla pretending someone reviewed the addon while using shitty AI like ChatGPT to do all the work.
The email even directly links to resources that are supposedly "minified, concatenated or otherwise machine-generated". That's simply not true.
