MTE is only available in hardware on Pixel 8 and later https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2023/11/first-handset.... GrapheneOS supports all the Pixel 8 and 9 series phones. They plan to support Pixel 10 once Google stop delaying their open-source releases of AOSP.
MTE is also available on a bunch of non-Pixel devices we can't support or which don't meet our other requirements.
8th/9th generation Pixels are half of the devices we support. 7 years of support is the status quo but it was 3 years before the Pixel 6 raised it to 5 so the earlier devices aren't supported anymore.
