Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

You're confusing "not implementing" with "disabling". There is no default-enabled HDMI out on any SoC. Rather you have to wire it up and enable it, which includes paying the HDMI licensing fees (and also test that it actually works)

Since this is Google making the SoC, surely we have Linux drivers within a month for it? Already upstreamed? Some register documentation? I didn't check, but I suppose the answer is "no". Can't keep pointing at Qualcomm anymore, I guess.

Why would they release driver for hardware not available to the public?

Are they still arbitrarily disabling HDMI-out to force us to buy a Chromecast?

Yes

What do you mean not available to the public? You can buy this phone now, no?
