Because otherwise you can git clone Firefox , change it's name and call it a new browser.
I guess if we really get technical we could say you can fork, but need to independently implement updates going forward.

If Firefox or Chrome starts going down a route where they deprecate features you need you probably won't have the expertise to keep them going. Anyway modern browsers are too hard to build profitably I guess without anti-consumer weirdness. Might have to switch to a cli RSS reader...
