That's not accurate.

The test suites are not run on CI for tier 2, but they are at least guaranteed to build.

Tier 2 platforms have binary builds, are supported by rustup and often work just fine.

TBF, the table of Tier 2 platforms has differences in features that are expected to work, Illumos has fewer than other platforms.

You need rust to build Firefox, so any platform that can't get it to work well is going to be at a disadvantage.
