This document tried to gather some of those reasons (see the bottom):

A good point.

I would note in this connection that when contributing to other people's
projects, Mozilla has a policy of "any open source license is fine". So
small patches aren't the focus here.

[Also relevant, perhaps: MoFo doesn't sign copyright assignments with
for-profit entities relating to _copyleft_ code written by its
employees, because that creates a tilted playing field with respect to
proprietary versions and we think that almost always have
community-corrosive effects.]
