“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

~~This is straight-up wrong.~~I use FIDO2 and Yubico OTP auth in Firefox desktop on a weekly basis.
Are you sure you’re not using a hardened fork or tinkered with yourabout:config?The main thing that Firefox frustratingly does not support is PRF, which is needed for encrypting data with FIDO-compatible devices, but they are working on that.
Edit: OP said mobile Firefox and I missed that. Added clarification.

Maybe you’re on iOS?
Ah. If we’re talking mobile, all bets are off. FIDO prompts require Apple and Google to provide the necessary APIs for third-party devs to use, and are still somewhat new. It’s likely that since iOS browsers are still just re-skinned WebKit (until the EU stuff settles and Mozilla implements Gecko on iOS), FF on iOS can leverage the OS APIs, but making it work with Gecko on Android requires more work.
I was referring to desktop, where those limitations aren’t a hindrance.
