The technical reason is that a very powerful system call is blocked on iOS that’s required to build a custom language runtime needed for a browser. This is done to increase security of the device. The trade-off is that the JavaScript engine and renderer must be shared by all browsers on iOS.

But if you can’t tell the difference, does it really matter?

iOS platform restrictions prevent Firefox for iOS from supporting add-ons. That is a rather striking difference.

Firefox on Android supports add-ons, in particular uBlock origin. Firefox on iOS does not. That's a huge difference.
