Correlation between Background and Firefox Data Collection and Use

I recently explored the backgrounds on Firefox. I choose one of the, because they look really nice. But after I changed my Firefox Data Collection and Use settings the background disappeared.

Why do you have to keep "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" enabled?

Perhaps Studies are necessary, but you might as well go to about:config and set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.v2.enabled to true.
