Seems like this is for the people that need to execute random powershell scripts they don't understand in order to turn of telemetry and copilot on Windows because reading about the registry and group policy is too much for them.

As far as I can see all these Firefox options can be set through the UI as well.

Stupid to run random scripts you find online, but browser makers push users into it.

My son wants to eat "Chinese" food with chopsticks, but he can only really use a fork, so we adapt the chopsticks. He'll be able to use them eventually, but not everyone has a) the desire, nor b) the dexterity.

Making it easier to do what users want with a computer without telling them 'just learn to program' (or script in this case) is actually a good thing imo.
