It's a business wankers view of the web.
Only what makes money has any value in their view. That's also why MBA types are the wrong type of person to run something like Mozilla.

Yeah I think that might be a worse statement than the one daydreaming about eliminating their remaining market share by abandoning the only thing keeping anyone around. It’s a gross premise to operate from. And bullshit.
Nothing wrong with an unobtrusive, not tracking, banner on a side of a page. Related to what the page is about.
