The main point they're making, if genuine, is that they're incompetent. Not only they collect telemetry, but also become less relevant due to whatever decisions they make. But of course they're not genuine.
Make Software Great Again! (just a fun poke, don't fret :P)
The thing is, anyone who genuinely relies on telemetry to make "informed decisions" is actually saying that they don't really know what they're doing, that they don't actually have a solid plan to address certain needs and solve problems that exist in other software. That's quite telling, because normally you're supposed to drive the project forward based on known needs. Mozilla acts like they're user-driven while, actually, baking in feature that are not even user-requested. So yeah, they're full of it.
