they account for 85+% of Mozilla’s revenue

So why is a company, one that has a clear incentive to reduce dependence on their competitor, funding something like Rust or Thunderbird?

Google used to give a lot more money to Mozilla, then they massively cut it which led to huge layoff affecting a lot of Firefox dev. Thankfully the new Firefox engine were just completed at that point. People like to complain about Mozilla pushing their VPN and Pocket, but they have to find another source of income to reduce their dependency to Google.
