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.
