Why are there many hundred Chromium based browsers, but seemingly very few Firefox based browsers?

Why would we need any Firefox-based browser that isn't Firefox?

Customize it a bit, and it works perfectly fine.

Same thing with chromium, that didn't stop the clones.

For what it's worth Brave and Opera do extend the base Chromium functionality quite a bit. No idea why they couldn't have done it with FF/Gecko though.
