Some people dont see it as a black and white issue.
Does firefox lose its privacy status if it takes google money and makes the default search engine google search?
Definitely yes. Firefox is not private as provided by Mozilla. You have to use a custom user.js to disable all the tracking, or install a Firefox based browser like Librewolf or Mullvad Browser.
Hence not everyone sees it as a black and white thing, because there will be a lot of people who would disagree with your statement to some extent.
