I don't know what you were expecting.
You more or less have to have an account to use a paid feature. Especially for a free trial.
It's only Mulvad (which is apparently what Firefox uses under the hood) who doesn't use an email address as an identifier.
iiuc Firefox uses Mullvad for original paid VPN service but their new freemium one is through Fastly (?)
You mean the same Fastly as in CDN? That's a nope for me
Yep, Fastly the CDN company (doing HTTPS mitm-as-a-service for millions of websites) which Apple also uses (along with CloudFlare) for their similar iCloud Private Relay feature.
Unlike Apple though, Firefox's new "built-in VPN" does not claim (falsely) to use different providers for ingress and egress.
