Mozilla is unhappy because the use of browser engines other than WebKit will be restricted to the EU, forcing them to develop two different apps.

For an independent browser like Firefox, managing two browsers is not easy, so it can be forgiven that this could be seen as almost harassment.

Also, the fact that the use of browser engines other than WebKit is limited to iOS means that the use of WebKit is still forced on iPadOS, which also increases the effort for Mozilla.

    Are these customers donating, or purchasing mozilla products or services so that mozilla doesn’t have to rely on google’s donations?

    I’m confused what you’re trying to say here.

    Are you saying that Google has more of a right to dictate what Mozilla does because Google gives Mozilla the most money?

    Are you saying Google told Mozilla to work on things other than Firefox with the money they were given?

    Why bring up Google at all?

      Telemitry is way more useful than you think, because the loudest are not always right. Same for donations.
