Firefox has had poor stewardship for quite a few years now with an uncertain future.
Even moreso - uBlock Origin doesn't block the modern equivalent of pop-up ads unless you manually block elements. Even then - half the time the block isn't even saved and needs to be redone every page visit.
It's not making an excuse on the part of Google, it's pointing out the naivety of expecting otherwise from Google.
Firefox still allows uBlock origin, and even on mobile.

One's expectations aren't in any way relevant in considering wether something is an asshole move or not.
Calling company strategy an "asshole move" is anthropomorphizing a lawnmower.
