why did they comply with this demand ? what's in it for them ?
Good question.
While Mozilla might seem virtuous, they clearly have motives.
"The Mozilla Foundation, which in tandem with its for-profit arm Mozilla Corporation releases Firefox, also operates its own VPN service, Mozilla VPN. However, it is only available in 33 countries, a list that doesn’t include Russia."
I'm trying to remember what other news came out recently that seemed to highlight the political stance of Mozilla Corporation, I think it was related to not allowing payments in cryptocurrencies, generally.
Seems that for an open source project, they grew pretty large and like many browsers that come preinstalled with search engines, tailored for different locations, they surely have backers and financial interests these days.
