Noticed when I compared clicking the "endorse" button on this grant application on mobile and desktop.
desktop showed a dialog for a comment, mobile didn't do anything obvious.

From mobile site on desktop:
From regular desktop site:
Note that the element inspector on FF shows that an event has been assigned. Same is shown for Chrome:
Those aren't OOUI buttons, they're the hacky "MWUI" which indeed don't and will never work on mobile. No idea what project that on-wiki stuff is tracked on, if any.
Since I mis-identified them, I'm curious if there is a way that they could do this with OOUI? Two people told me that they were trying to use the endorse button on mobile and it didn't work.
Not yet. There's a proposal to allow users to create OOUI buttons and other widgets via wikitext (T101666), but it's not being actively worked on, and anyway I feel rather uneasy about the potential security implications so enabling that on Wikimedia wikis would require some serious thought.
