Maybe because they wouldn’t have gotten the deal renewed otherwise?

How does firing some of their brilliant tech staff helps them renew a deal to keep Google as default search on Firefox?

The theory is that Google might have required this of Mozilla as part of the deal, either officially or unofficially.

IIRC the supposed "burden" of lowering Cxx suite salaries played a non-insignificant role.
