Is Snapdragon hardware present in the current/upcoming lineup of Pixel devices such that MTE support is relevant to GrapheneOS?

We want to support other devices and consider this the main blocker because Exynos is not widely used outside Samsung and Snapdragon is better at overall security than MediaTek. Qualcomm dropped the ball on MTE but they're quite good at security overall. It doesn't matter outside our perspective because MTE is not being used in production by others yet, which is why Qualcomm didn't prioritize it.
