Because Google have given Mozilla the necessary proprietary Widevine decryption binary for x86_64 linux (your desktop) but not for aarch64 linux (your phone). See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1612995 for the open issue that won't be going anywhere until Google decide it can. It's a corporate political issue not a technical one. The situation used to be similar for Chromium , with some people extracting the binary from ChromeOS to use with the Raspberry Pi, but now Raspberry Pi OS has the libwidevinecdm0 package.
