In addition to the base maintainer burden, building Firefox takes a few hours and lots of computing resources (in my opinion; about 8GiB RAM), making it much harder (slower) to test whether the patches and the browser worked properly.

you wouldn't need to recompile floorp. they release a binairy tarball as an option. Someone would just need to package it.
