That's a bit sideways, but in the interest of sideways eventually moving forward... 1) Funding of sorts, which spreads around, to develop TBB, a sizable prioject, to do decent things a browser should do, hopefully feeding back to Mozilla. Were certain elements of security left uninvestigated and just punted to Whonix+FF, well that's a incomplete partial approach too. If you want funds, you might not want to publish other partial solutions. Securing the browser and browser meta is a fine project. And as has been said, it's still needed to pair the app with defense in depth and a known line around application land. Just remember TBB and Tor are not and cannot be that line. 2) Captured audience dependency. As with publishing, this is corporate 101. Giving someone an app is well... welcome to apps, and a torbox to run them on. Like iTunes on iPhone. Giving someone unix is like airdropping a great big box of freedom their way. Here, have some free beer... https://www.freebsd.org/ https://www.openbsd.org/ https://torbsd.github.io/ Or whatever it is penquins drink... https://www.whonix.org/ https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes https://www.qubes-os.org/ Or a fine Javanese app... https://geti2p.net/ 3) Like I said, the real reason is probably a bit more mundane... nobody signed on to update the content.
