This is not right, the material libraries are a part of AndroidX, which has the current minimum SDK version 14 (Android 4.0.1), and will soon move to minimum SDK version 19 (Android 4.4). Compose, which is completely feasible to build the UI for Firefox for Android, has the minimum SDK version 21 (Android 5.0) iirc.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the Firefox for Android simply has not prioritized adopting Material You.
Good information. Thank you for the clarification!
