It's a lot of work and a relatively small market.

Well that's just Firefox since ever

Painful but true.

There was like a 10 year period where Firefox had a pretty large market share, and they still have a respectable one despite being in a competition with GOOGLE. I don't agree that Firefox as a whole is just a tiny niche considering it's still used by nearly a couple hundred million people. That's bigger than the population of most of the world's countries.

It's also worth noting that, by the nature of the demographic Firefox appeals to, Firefox users are much less likely to allow their browser to report telemetry and the stats are therefore probably quite a bit under-reported.

True. Also if Apple didn't disallow (true) Firefox from their platform, that would probably equate to some amount of additional FF users.
