This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Let's be clear, for a feature that Samsung phones have had for a decade at this point.

This feature debuted on the Moto Atrix in 2011. There was even a version of Ubuntu that could use the feature.

They sure did have a version of it. But you had to run their privacy nightmare app suite on their mutilated android OS. So no one cared or cares.
