All successful habits start the day you decide to do them. If you plan to start them in the future, they're way less likely to succeed.
(The above based on nothing but my own gut feelings and experience.)

Yeah and the reason they get away with it is because a single person's (exorbitant) pay in the end hardly affect what's left for the shareholders, whereas giving all employees raises costs a lot more.
Yeah I'm not against the CEO earning similar amounts to those of organisations doing similar things and bringing in similar amounts of money... But those CEOs, too, are compensated disproportionately.
Yeah, the copy link behaviour was recently updated to be greyed out if no tracking parameters could be removed. You used to get the same result as the "Copy link" button, so the behaviour is otherwise the same, it's just that you have to click the "Copy link" button now (and you know in advance if it's going to do anything).

I didn't know that the new generation of developers were that far along in their careers already.
As long as you mute it.
They are the collective main browser makers, including Mozilla. One thing Mozilla can (and does) do is insert site-specific workarounds (e.g. changing the User Agent), and/or work with the website to ensure compatibility.
GPC? It's different because there's already a jurisdiction that legally enforces it.
If you wish to ask websites to respect your privacy, you can use the “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” setting. This option is built on top of the Global Privacy Control (GPC). GPC is respected by increasing numbers of sites and enforced with legislation in some regions. To learn more about this, please read Global Privacy Control.
So those sites can look at that.
Presumably it's easier to lobby for something that's already legally enforced elsewhere. And sometimes lobbying is just unsuccessful.
With a reasonable alternative available, removing the additional fingerprinting vector seems like the best idea to avoid tracking. The few good actors can look at the Global Privacy Control instead, so there's literally no downside here.
I've got them here: you're done.
You have to go out of your way to install ("enable") it.
