Probably because broad adoption would help making it a real option to use in the near future?
So sure, Samsung would bundle it with their usual crap, but if it helps making the engine more mature, great, but I also don't see why they would in the first place.
It had broad adoption, Mozilla threw it away.
The same would occur again.
In fairness, while there was definitely Mozilla mismanagement, there was also a massive monopolistic marketing/bundling campaign by Chrome. Google search and other properties pushed Chrome, Google paid application publishers to bundle Chrome the way they bundled adware, and so on.
Servo never had. But yes, mozilla management let FF go down the drain.
Down the drain? Firefox is still a great browser.

Servo was not intended to replace Gecko. By all reports it was an experimental component, many of whose findings were used in Gecko.
That folks want to take it further is admirable. But doubtful Mozilla could have afforded to with their existing commitments.
sorry, what? servo existing as a mozilla side project did not give it broad adoption
