I don't see it as a problem to make a mobile-first experience. A volume setting takes up screen real estate and is really not needed on mobile.

Perhaps it will be added to desktop Shorts as the product matures.

This is a solved problem: don't show the volume control on mobile. This is what YouTube already does for every other kind of video.

I agree, and that's what I just said. YouTube Shorts has not existed very long, but it could very well be on the roadmap to add a volume control to the desktop version.
