They don't use terminals. They Its a regression for those who do - and often have good reason to do.

Which is the classic mentality that ruins the big bloated GNOME Linux desktop "It works my way and every other way is wrong so go screw". Of course the other half of the problem is exactly that - firefox was once a small browser, its now a bloated monster too so the scheduler is quite sensible to pick on it.
