Maybe "deployment" is easier in some sense, but the massive change introduced by Quantum, which annihilated a large number of add-ons, has made it impossible to return to Firefox's previous functionality and usability (esp. the user interface). Thus the new state of affairs is that, although it's easier to deploy this version of the browser, it isn't the same browser.
P.S. I have been using the Firefox family pretty much exclusively since I switched from Mosaic (DEC's OSF/1 Unix on Alpha) to Netscape about 24 years ago, but Quantum is by far the most disruptive change ever. It's the first change that actually *removed* significant functionality compared to the previous versions.
