Of course a stab is better than decapitation. The point of the analogy is to ask whether the stabber is your friend.

If he didn't decapitate me, but stabbed me instead I'd say he's a friend

The more apt analogy in that case might be "would you prefer I decapitate you, or forget to buy you a souvenir on my road trip," to better illustrate the difference in severity between Google's and Mozilla's actions.
