I really wish this was adopted as a general Android feature.

Pretty sure it is part of AOSP so yeah, if your OS doesnt have it, its because the company removed it. CalyxOS has it too.

This has all been a very interesting thread. Thank you. I'm thinking I need to set something up with my phone. It does force the password every 72 hours, but it won't do anything about the boot loader since it doesn't reboot automatically.

I wonder why Pixel would remove this feature in that case.
