Google itself has an accessibility testing program (
$1, which I'm a part of) which provides new features and beta/testing channels exclusively to Pixel phones before they are rolled out to the public. Many of these features stay Pixel-exclusive, especially Assistant-related features.
I'm glad Samsung partnered with Google for Talkback but a blanket "they get those features first" statement about accessibility is wrong, period. Touchwiz or 1UI, there's another software layer that Samsung has to go through to ensure compatibility that stock Android OS Pixel devices do not, and there aren't 40 rebranded versions of existing apps thrown onto every new Pixel phone to determine which 10 actually work and move on to the next release like Samsung does.
