It'd be interesting if Mozilla offered a iCloud-like solution. Obviously, they wouldn't have the tight integration compared to Apple on mobile or desktop. They'd also need a really compelling use case that Apple can't offer.

If you compete with iCloud and Google you'll always be a niche player.

But I think if a brand name like Mozilla would offer a standards based "internet suite" (think: mail and notes over IMAP, file cloud over WebDAV, calendars and todo's over CalDAV, VPN over WireGuard etc. so basically your online stuff without the proprietary device-locked walled garden implementation) it could become at least a sustainable business for people who:

- Care about not being locked in

- Do not want the hassle of self hosting

- Feel less comfortable about using a non-brandname NextCloud provider

Internet Suite - that'd be rather like going full circle to the 1990s and Netscape Communicator Suite [0] !
