So then would it legitimate to have a version of Enigmail that continued to work with TB 78? :)

Won't and can't exist.  Please stop asking.

We've given the reasons many, many times. Originally, the Thunderbird user interface was done using a Mozilla technology called XPCOM. Mozilla has since abandoned XPCOM; moving forward, all extensions have to be written as WebExtensions.

So all the XPCOM in Enigmail, the stuff that's accumulated over almost twenty years of development? None of it works any more.

Enigmail cannot be ported to TB78. We would have to literally start over rewriting the user interface in WebExtension. The finished product would not be Enigmail as you've come to know it: it would be something completely new and different.

If you want to develop your own Enigmail successor as a WebExtension, knock yourself out. But please don't call it Enigmail. :)
