On one of my characters with 8 STR equipping plate armor doesn't reduce his speed. My understanding is that movement speed should be reduced by 10ft if you don't meet the STR requirement for a heavy armor.
I'm not a pro, but I have an idea. When you created the character, what did you select for the Encumbrance option? If you selected "No Encumbrance", speed and such won't change as expected. I believe you can go to Edit Character (click left-arrow a few times) to change the Encumbrance option.
I’ve seen this too. Reported it here and haven’t seen any response either. I have a strength 10 firbolg wearing chain, with no movement penalty. Also the short description of the armor does NOT mention the strength stat requirement. I can add something heavy, like a carriage for example, and speed drops.
it's not a bug dwarves have the following racial trait that negates the effect:
Speed
Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.
They sacrifice 5 movement to be able to wear what they please. If heavy armour reduced their movement speed by 10ft then this racial trait would be pointless.

Just wanted to follow up on this issue. Is there any kind of timeline in place? Has anyone seen this yet?
Thank you
I came to report this same issue.
My character is not a dwarf.
As a work around I manually adjusted my characters speed.

Chiming in on the same topic - I'm playing a kobold forge cleric with a STR of 10, and he's still strolling along at 30 ft.
Just following up on this issue. Any update?
This still has not been Fixed, why are we being ignored?
