I think it would be risky, companies will roll it out think people who are on chromium will move to chrome, or their browsers will support this. If people move to Firefox, companies know that a percentage of their users will be prevented from using this, and it could cost their marketshare/revenue. Google cannot be trusted to dictate web standards any more, and Mozilla is the best placed to break that hegemony.
My guess is Mozilla will add WEI support to Firefox, which will allow you to use official Windows builds of Firefox, but try to use your favorite Linux distro’s build of Firefox and you’ll be shown the door.

How many companies even know what Firefox is?
