Because it is so much better to store your CC info in the cloud where it can be shared and/or sold?

That seems to be the idea here - especially considering the shift towards ads Mozilla did in last months

In my country we have a range of options when it comes to purchasing goods online - nobody thinks about doing that with CC at all. It's all done with either banking apps or a country/cross-banks payment system that dominates over google/apple pay.

Mozilla has to find a new source of funding now that Google, Mozilla's major donor, is being broken apart.
