https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/18511 features more discussion on why the extension is Recommended but not available on Android.
While the extension is compatible with Android and useful to users, it remains unavailable by default until all extensions are generally available (bug 1796184).
Users interested in installing the extension on Android (Nightly/Beta) can already do so by customizing their collection as described at https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/
P.S. I am the author of the extension and also the Firefox-side engineer working on extensions/mobile support. Despite that, I do not expect preferential treatment, which I expressed before at https://github.com/Rob--W/dont-track-me-google/issues/23#issuecomment-843540636
