So what? Is linux now about restricting user choice?
Arch is a pragmatic distribution, both for the users and developers. Upstream decided to make pulseaudio a hard dependency specifically to reduce maintenance costs on their end. Arch devs really aren't in the business of adopting such maintenance costs. The pragmatic solution is to follow upstream. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Firefox devs, not us.
