Why doesn’t firefox use searx.me as its default search engine and doesn’t even offer it as a suggestion, as suggest Bing, Yahoo, Google and others?

If you go to a searx instance and click on the 3 dots near your extensions on the right of the screen in the URL bar, there should be an option to add it as a search engine
That didn’t work for me, searx homepage would open but it would not run the query. This is how I solved it:
~ about:config
browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh = true
~ about:preferences#search - Add
engine name = searx
engine URL = https://<searx-instance-baseurl>/search?q=%s
engine alias = @s
