What Mozilla is doing is providing a framework for keeping the
companies that want into your computer out, by providing them tools to
get only what the law allows them and no more.
The theory would seem to be that the various national Constitutions
will keep laws worse than the DMCA from being passed. In other words,
no one wants to believe that reasoning national assemblies would
really pass laws requiring such APIs, where they exist, to be
implemented and functional.
