Because google only pays Mozilla because of:
They don't want Mozilla to compete in any AI space, because there's already a ton of competition in the AI space given how much money gets thrown around, so they don't benefit from anti-monopoly efforts, and there's so many models that they don't benefit from search dominance in the AI space. They'd much rather have Mozilla stay a non-AI browser while they get to implement AI features and show shareholders that they're "the most advanced" of them all, or that "nobody else is doing it like we do".
There's no real way Mozilla could compete. Google has nothing to fear on that front like the browser front. It's far more likely Mozilla's ultimate intention. Is to integrate Gemini or similar further into the browser than they already have. Mozilla is years late to the circle jerk, and everyone else has partnered up.
