"They don't even need to be using Firefox"

Then it doesn't need to be a irremovable part of the binaries, right?

"What would "stripping out" Firefox Hello provide? It's built entirely on top of HTML5 APIs (which is why it works in all browsers with WebRTC support), so it doesn't actually increase the browser surface area at all."

The question to ask is not "why should we remove it" but "why should we include it". And if it is just "built entirely on top of HTML5 APIs" then why should it need its privileged position above that of an addon?
