So we're talking about the M1 Macs, not iPhones - Firefox on Mac is Gecko. So the comparison of Webkit (iOS FF) vs. Gecko (Mac FF) is the comparison being made as you can download both if you want.

W^X JIT seems to have been solved in Firefox in 2016. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=W-XOR-E-... So that's not the specific blocker for Gecko on iOS.

W^X doesn't get you very far on iOS. Apps are not allowed to make pages executable at all.
