They have been been upstreaming patches to the kernel. In fact Android works with a stock Linux kernel now.

For the nonexistent Pixel 8? Or are you referring to running on a Pixel 6a, for example:

This device is marked as not booting.

I'm stating a general fact that the patches in ACK are not needed for Android to work.
Many past Pixel devices, which are still in support, cannot seem to run a mainline kernel.
