Does this mean they will remove "AI controls" (i.e. a way to completely shut all LLM shit off) from normal Firefox?

There are no such plans.

(Regardless of one's feelings about generative AI, I think some features like local translation or alt text are too nice to be labeled "LLM shit", but I admit I am biased)

You can already turn everything off under Settings -> AI Control. Personally I keep Translations on so I can translate locally instead of calling external services.

They list this as a feature in the submission page.

No, why would you think that?

No. Are you thinking that was a feature intended to appeal to corporate use or something? I'm pretty sure it was all about AI backlash. It's still a popular setting to have available. (I have no idea how many people actually use it.)
