Linux distros won't host the code for the commercial bits. It doesn't matter if you can hide it, it's the fact that it's there at all

Yet they have no issue with Mozilla?

Mozilla does not have commercial bits. They do receive money from Google to be the default search engine, and the binaries they build report telemetry, but the versions found in Linux repos often either patch out the telemetry or disable it.

Most distros have a way of installing proprietary software via enabling additional repos after install.
