Do you have a source for the fact that Pixel devices don't yet have a fix? The post we're commenting on is actually just blogspam, with its only real source being the initial project zero disclosure [0], which still asserts this to be the case...

The blog post was published on the 16th.[0] Pixel 6 and 6a started the update rollout on the 20th.[1] The March security update was scheduled for earlier but was delayed for 6/a for some reason, and it seems like the Project Zero team didn't check on the actual status of the rollout.
