- secure app spawning (huge because without it, many hardening improvements are useless)

- extremely secure memory allocator

- fully enabled MTE on shiba and newer

- relockable bootloader

- stronger forensics resistance

- more trustworthy developers (ever heard of LOSCoins?)

- rapid support for new Pixels

- lightning fast security updates faster than most OEMs/ODMs

- built-in TTS without GMS

- real GMS that isn't priv-app

and so much more
