Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

I don't think MS implemented it.

Their decision is detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3

Whether they implement in web search is speculation

Sorry if it wasn't clear from my original comment but yes this is speculation for the future.

Are you suggesting people should roll over and take it

I'm suggesting people aren't going to be given the choice if this is actually pushed through to the full extent that Google is hoping. Fighting against it is obviously the right move but it doesn't hurt to imagine a future where that fighting has no meaningful effect.

because all this side debate is doing nothing useful.

Not all discussions are a debate, and these discussions need to be had.
