My thoughts exactly; the only feature that I really missed from not having my device upgraded to Oreo last year was the OS-wide credential auto-fill functionality. I see none this time around.

I wonder when they'll have better VPN support: the stock OS is still missing IPSec IKEv2+RSA w/ proper server cert validation (even Strongswan has a few major limitations with their Android app implementation[1]), and their always-on VPN support is quite bad (e.g. lack of domain name support for not good-enough reason[2], doesn't handle tethering properly while connected)

Before Oreo finally enabled universal auto fill, Samsung Pass did a good job signing me in with my irises so far. I love the ecosystem of apps they made so far really impressive. Especially the magnification loupe that iOS has had for years.
