I can find netherwart in the fortress by the stairs where it is normally spawned in the nether but cannot find it anywhere else. Normally it grows regularly on patches of soul sand, but I am seeing/finding none outside the fortress.

Nether wart only spawns randomly in soul sand patches around the landscape of the Nether in the legacy edition of console Minecraft, not this one.

Thank you for your report!
However, this is Working as Intended.

This makes for the rare but possible outcome of 0 netherwart available if a fortress generates without the proper stairs. I am sure this is theoretically possible unless code has been created to prevent this from ever happening.
Why the decision to make this change? It was a great alternative source for netherwart.
Is there documentation other than the Wiki (where you have to search each potential change) that lists all the differences between versions? It would be nice to have a table that lists out each item, function, feature, etc. for the versions (java, bedrock and consoles) so we can actually discover what's different without a) guessing and b) reporting it as a bug.

I have yet to find a Nether Fortress that didn't have stairs, but seeing as the Nether is infinite, if you do find such a fortress, you simply need to explore further to find a different one that does. Once you find even a little, the crop yield is so high that you don't need to search for more.
The Minecraft wiki used to have a very detailed page of differences between the versions, but it looks like it is being restructured and the page for the Bedrock differences is still in progress.

Console edition was a exception due to the limited nether.
"Nether wart generates naturally in nether fortresses as a plant, in patches near stairwells.
It is also randomly found in soul sand patches around the landscape of the Nether.(Legacy Console Edition only)
Nether wart can be found in 19.2% of nether fortress chests in stacks of 3–7."
