That's the one argument that I think is most important here.
While Mozilla is OK with the contractual obligations, and I personally
do trust Google to hold those up (because it would be a legal and
reputation-wise problem if they don't) - but users out there see the
Firefox in-product pages call out to Google's Analytics services and
those are know as a track-the-internet service to many.
It doesn't matter if we have a contract that says they cannot aggregate
data from us with data from the rest of the world, because the user
doesn't know that. If we could have this point to a domain of ours and
that forwards the data to Google under the contract, it already would be
more trustworthy because it wouldn't lead the user to the conclusion
that we spread the data to Google's tracking services - as funny as that
sounds at first glance.
