Between copies of Firefox, yes. But Pocket's feature set gives you a
great deal more than that. If this was all it was, I agree that Sync
would serve the purpose.

Because for 99.99% of users that would be a case of pressing the
"Whatever" button. Having both active would clearly be bad UX. So what
you are really asking is "why don't Pocket continue to maintain the
Firefox addon so it can be used as an alternative to the integrated
version, to provide the same functionality". That question rather
answers itself, I think.

AIUI, the Pocket team don't plan to continue to maintain the addon version.
