The vast majority of people won't notice if you dilute their food/drink products to save money. Doesn't make it okay.
replyBut this is more like not including tops with your to go drinks when every one throws them away. If Android never used MTE, removing doesn’t harm the Android experience which is what the Pixel is intended to run.
replyThe field is certainly moving in the opposite direction. Apple has their own extension of MTE (MIE) and uses it in the kernel and a bunch of system processor. Samsung has had MTE support in flagship Exynos for some years now and they started experimenting with MTE in the OneUI 9 betas (not sure what the MTE status in the final release is).
replyI don’t really follow Android so my memory may be wrong but didn’t Google make a big deal about this when they rolled it out?
replyIf so, it seems odd to cut it back.
