Why is the "new" addon system so restrictive?

I've been hoping it would get better over the years but it's been a very long time and things never got better so I'm wondering why is the "new"(I think it's been close to 7 years now) addon is so restrictive?

I can't live without tab grouping and it's impossible to do the way I like with this new addon system and none of the many alternative are as good so it's been keeping me away from firefox since the change.

Is there a reason it's kept that way? I'd really like to come back to firefox because I'm sick of chrome and the smaller browsers have many compatibility issues because website ignore them but as long as the addon system remain as-is, I just can't.

Sure I have a specific issue that I'm fairly certain I shared already and I've seen dozens do the same all over, but I was mostly wondering why in general is it so much more restrictive than the old one with not much sign of change, not that I follow it that close so I could be mistaken about that part.

Edit: Now I've seen at least 2800 who want a more customizable tab bar: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/native-tab-grouping-more-customizable-tab-bar/idi-p/303
