Doesn't like 90% of Mozilla's funding come from Google? At least expanding their paid services could be seen as trying to turn that around.

The anti-monopoly lawsuit against Google fixed that

Now Mozilla has to find a way to offset that loss, which would be attracting the non-Firefox market

From my understanding thunbird is somewhat separated from this. From the article linked by OP it says:

What’s crystal clear is that Thunderbird’s ever-increasing donation revenue (currently its sole source of income) is allowing for some explosive growth that’s long overdue. To add some context to this, Thunderbird received $2.8 million in donation revenue during 2021. Two years later, in 2023, it received $8.6 million in donations. I’m told that total financial contributions for 2024 were even higher, though the final amount hasn’t been officially released.
