That still doesn't explain why they need access to it.
To work with your analogy, I would be happy granting a specific worker access, but I would not grant the company access.
Meaning, I am fine with the local instance of Firefox access, but why does Mozilla the company need access?
The thing is, the worker is part of the company. If you say that no one from that company is allowed to get into your home that worker can't do it's job either. Mozilla doesn't need access but the worker from them needs it if they are supposed to do their jobs. It's why legally speaking companies can be handles as if they were persons.
