GrapheneOS not supporting Pixel 11s?

We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.
If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we’re looking at truly dark days ahead.
I consider my phone more secure than my PC , but with more attacks made on it. Same for most people I think no matter OS if updated…
The issue is the phone is (almost always) always on and you cannot inspect things like you could with a PC. You can’t list processes and read through them, there’s no syslog or kernel log on most phones that you’re allowed to view, it’s a much bigger pain to reinstall than a PC is, there are a lot of things that make it an easier target. I would have a much much easier time figuring out my PC is compromised than figuring out my phone is compromised
