Non profits also are able to monetize products and pay out employees.
There must be some other reason for the move?

We received a lot of donations from the community, so we're going to shift to a for-profit footing? That does not make a lot of sense to me.
One of the things I really like about Thunderbird is that it's from a not-for-profit entity. It makes it easier to trust them with so much of my most personal data.
It's still wholly owned by a non-profit, which means I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now. But especially given the vagueness of that statement, I'm definitely concerned.
Why? Non-profit status has nothing to do with privacy policy. It just means that money goes to employees and vendors instead of owners (who could be the same people for all practical purposes).
