Why no projects use Firefox as a base and prefer Chromium instead? (lemmy.ml)

Before you come at me with stuff like Librewolf, Waterfox and IceCat; those don't count. They are just tweaked Firefox distros with mostly basic low level changes. Not every Chromium browser is super unique either, but I feel like there are more differences between them then there are with Firefox distros. Why is that? Why there aren't different browsers that use Firefox's engines but provide a different UX?

For Android there is https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/. I don't know if there is anything similar on desktop.
