Not surprised, since it wasn't used in Android to begin with they probably thought nobody will notice if it's removed. And indeed, for the vast majority of people nobody will notice.

The vast majority of people won't notice if you dilute their food/drink products to save money. Doesn't make it okay.

The 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).

I 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?

If so, it seems odd to cut it back.
