Why does Firefox for Android not support login sync with Master Password enabled?

I would like to be able to sync my Firefox for Desktop logins with Firefox for Android. Sync is working fine, apart from logins. I note there is an old thread concerning this issue, but the "Using Master Password on Firefox for Android" article specifically states: "When Master Password is enabled, passwords will stop syncing to Firefox for Android. "

I was just wondering why and is this something that will change in the future? Is there an underlying security issue with syncing to Android that cannot be mitigated?
