If you did use the default about:home this would also help support
your upstream partner Mozilla who gains some revenue from search. As

distros like Ubuntu does.
Obviously that revenue is really important and helps Mozilla cover its
operating costs.
Sure, and I'm sure all of us in Fedora value Mozilla's contribution to
our ecosystem and the open web, but having about:home by default might
be problematic as it conflicts with our values of FOSS - it basically
promotes and endorses Google, a thing that is morally questionable and
that I'm not even sure if we are legally allowed to do.
