It's strange to claim that Google business interests are somehow not aligned with Pixel hardware security. They've made significant progress on improving the firmware/hardware security with each of the past device generations. It isn't something that happens in one day.
My understanding of the differences in lock screen behavior comes from https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/11/24/android-n-encryption/ …. Is this out of date?

No, it's not out-of-date, but it's important to note that Android does have a hardware-backed keystore which offers the option of tying keys to the user unlocking the device. Default on iOS is not more secure than Android, look at that section in https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf ….

iOS makes it a *lot easier* for app developers to opt-in to various data being at rest when the screen is locked. It's quite fair to criticize the lack of an Android API for this. Situation isn't as cut and dry as iOS protecting data when locked and Android not doing it though.
