Well, the Linguist is no have any public opinion. You are welcome to use the unique project who care about UX, and don’t care about political views of their users.
I hope you’re right. The more people will save it, the more chances we have to find the source code later, or even find the community who will maintain the fork.
You can see the code of extensions, but it may be minimized, so it hard to known what the code do.
Extensions with label “Recommended” are pass the manual review of Firefox moderators, so you can trust them more than addons with no this label. However you still should keep in mind that any extension developer may be victim of complex scam attack.
The most probable reason usually is a not enough funding the developers
To minimize the possibility of hijacking addons by scammers, we have to:
Haha, actually it’s my bad, not a Linguist 😀

It’s good question. If a Mozilla people interesting for it - feel free to email me. As i know, for now a firefox translator is just a wrapper over Bergamot Translator while time a Linguist is a common purpose translation system for all major browsers, that embedded a Bergamot Translator as one of a great translator implementations.
For now Linguist had no reviews by influencers and it did not appears on reviews of a firefox addons blog unlike some other addons like proprietary Mate translate and open source TWP - Translate Web Pages. If we together make Linguist visible for a wide people, maybe Mozilla will pay attention for a Linguist too and we can integrate Linguist into a Firefox with all features it have
For now an embedded Bergamot Translator module does not support a Korean language, but thanks for your comment, i work on addding a new languages and your comment useful to demonstrate the importance a wide languages support.
With time a Korean language will supported, for now you can try to use a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate as a Linguist custom translator (https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md). It will takes a time to configure your environment, but as result you can deploy a big AI model for text translation on your PC and use it with a Linguist if the private translation the key feature you needs for the Korean language
Thank you too 👍
