Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.

Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.

It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.

Mozilla frankly could use some serious restructuring. If Brave was able to get a decent market share overnight surely a well known company can make a come back.

Mozilla has a management problem

Brave has a notable market share? I've never seen them in any graph.

Comparing the two is also a difficult territory, because Brave does not develop their own browser engine. If Google stops publishing the Chromium source code, they're gone in a few months.

Mozilla is not brave enough for this change.

This is the Mozilla foundation, not the Mozilla corp. The latter has the deal with Google; the former couldn't make that deal even if they wanted to.
