iOS/iPad OS is relatively much easier to develop and it's a completely different branch from Android as it's a skin on top of Safari Web View. All other platform use their own Quantum/Gecko Engine.

Right, however, a basic tablet UI which Firefox previously had and many browsers have shouldn’t be hard for Mozilla to implement on Android.

Android has scaling so a tablet UI should look normal on most devices.
