No doubt, but Google probably could've worked with Mozilla and Apple to figure out an approach that addressed their concerns instead of disregarding them and implementing it as-is.
Maybe I remember it wrong, but I think Mozilla said it is unacceptable in any form and they will not even consider it. I don't like the google way either, but Mozilla is stubborn here and Apple fights for control over app market.
So sad, if FirefoxOS still where a thing they wouldn't bat an eye.
