I actually wish Mozilla put out a dedicated password manager.

They have Sync, and they have SoPS (or well, used to?).

I'd gladly pay extra for it

I think that I'd prefer Firefox allow Bitwarden and other password tools to replace Firefox's password implementation. That way you'd get the UI/UX of integrated password management, but the single-source-authoritative backend too.

(before someone points out that Bitwarden has an extension: I do know that, but I'd like to see more modular features in browsers rather than our-way-is-best)

There used to a standalone Firefox Password app for mobile but it got the axe.
Lockwise.

And it had way better UX when auto-fill didn't work, because for some reason about:logins doesn't work on mobile, so you have to hunt through a menu mess to copy the password manually from Firefox.

I continued to use it (because they didn't stop it syncing) until I switched phone and so couldn't easily install it.
