It's unfortunately not the only questionable decision taken by the Pale Moon devs - see e.g. https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1363542-pale-moon-team-di...
As a project lead, you get to decide things like what goes in the project or leaves. Not everything needs a discussion once it has been decided.
I suspect the "not allowed to be discussed" is implemented so that these discussions are bypassed and those that don't like the decision can simply vote with their feet.
