It seems like you can trivially get around the intended rules of the MPL 2.0 by simply putting your changes in a separate file... and then you don't have to share 99% of your modifications?

My guess would be that it's geard towards bugfixes. If a consumer discovers and fixes a bug in the original source, they're obliged to push it back upstream, or at least publish it so others can. Vut they still get the freedom of MIT to add new closed-source features or work it into a larger-scale closed-source project.
