Yeah, search engines don't which is annoying and confusing. However on desktop you can use keyword bookmarks which offer basically the same functionality and do sync.

uBlock Origin does it's own weird thing where you need to trigger the sync in the settings interface. I don't think you can blame Firefox for this UX choice.

Search engines can have completion; keyword bookmarks can't. Most search engines don't support it, but some do.

It made the same choice in Chrome, so I was familiar with that. It works there, it doesn't work on Firefox. I think it's fair to put that on Firefox.

uBlock Origin sync works for me on Firefox
Probably another one of those "weird, unexplainable and unreproducible failure scenarios" then.
