Fairphone no secure element, no hardware memory tagging and lack the expected security patches. It's missing some of the other features too. Our list is about hardware requirements and firmware/driver requirements, not the AOSP portion of the OS.
> The "Complete monthly Android Security Bulletin patches without any regular delays longer than a week for device support code (firmware, drivers and HALs)" part isn't even true for Pixels.
That's not correct. Pixels also ship the monthly, quarterly and yearly OS updates rather than the Android Security Bulletin backports to older releases. Android Security Bulletins are backports of High and Critical severity patches to the initial yearly releases from the past several years. Stock Pixel OS and AOSP have a new release each month and often ship those patches before they're backporting.
Android Security Bulletins also include a small subset of SoC vendor patches, but the remaining SoC vendor patches and other hardware component patches also need to be provided as part of meeting our requirements.
