You do know that Motorola isn't doing any of those things either, right?
Motorola is providing us with the drivers/firmware we need, publishes kernel sources on GitHub rather than behind a form for a tarball and has MTE from launch.

Pixel 11 series should get MTE with Android 17 QPR2 and we plan to support those once they have it. Our requirements were not lowered due to Pixels missing a security feature. We had Pixel 11 support essentially completed but didn't ship it due to this. We didn't know it was going to get fixed via updated firmware but that now appears to be the case. We were expecting that we'd have to skip supporting the devices after doing most of the work.
