You are incorrect again. People *can* choose to download any version they want. There is "other languages and editions" button right below the download button, where you could find all the 70+ versions of Firefox that are built routinely. Moreover, if a user chooses the locally built version, they can also configure which add ons they would have installed or not have installed. So, there are choices.
