The media.eme.require-app-approval prompt and pref were added in bug 1620102 for GeckoView. Firefox desktop doesn't show a prompt. Removing GeckoView's prompt would improve the user experience and avoid breaking some websites.
Based on research in bug 1523443 comment 13, on Android 8+, the device identifier is unique per app and device [1]. Thus, apps and websites can't use it to track users across apps or devices and the device identifier is not much different than a regular cookie and is cleared when Firefox clears cookies.
