why are they promoting web-based mail when their email solution is thunderbird?
Thunderbird is more a community project that's outside of Mozilla's jurisdiction at this point
Thunderbird is built by a for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, it just isn’t the Mozilla Corporation.
Thunderbird is an independent, community-driven project that is managed and overseen by the Thunderbird Council, which is elected by the Thunderbird Community.

I want firefox to exist to create a good browser and thunderbird to exist for a good email client. Is that too much to ask?
I don’t think you need to do anything different. Sometimes when I learn new things I say “oh, interesting.”
Fair nuff. Sometimes it's just overwhelming getting information of something I can't do anything by. Like oh great another thing that's going wrong rn... Woo hoo
You could switch to KMail, which is developed by the KDE community, organised in KDE e.V., an actual registered non-profit.
Or Evolution, developed by the GNOME project, organised in the GNOME foundation, another registered non-profit.
