Actually, they flagged UBO Lite and the dev removed it himself in a fit of pique.

No. It didn’t. That’s why he was upset. Mozilla even admit this. Did you read the article or what?

“Mozilla later admitted in an email that they had made a mistake regarding the extension, but Hill has ultimately decided to cease development of the uBlock Origin Lite add-on for Firefox.”
