Serious question, was the 911 bug fixed?

Google has been completely silent about it, just yesterday another person reported the 911 bug with the Pixel 6 Pro.

Does anyone know whether these 911 problems are always due to the "PhoneAccounts" bug? [1]

Or are there separate bugs that happen on their own as well, in other cases? There seems to be a "PhoneAccount Abuse Detector" app, but I am not sure if it can be trusted to tell you if you are suffering from all known 911 bugs, or just one particular one.

On my (Samsung) phone, that app reports "Your device is running a security patch from January 2022 or newer. It should not be vulnerable to this bug!".

So presumably the 911 issue is something different.

There have been reports as recently as a couple months ago of issues with it in Australia and Canada

The marketing page is an absolute nightmare for me on the phone. It is laggy, some links simply do nothing (broken scripts? because the browser attempts no navigation at all), clicking the trade-in button only refreshes the page, and worst of all clicking on the pre-order button entirely crashes my browser.

What's happening there?

Sadly, this message was sent from my Pixel 6 pro, which I used to browse the product page.

My bad, this was meant to be a top level comment. Will be re-posting as such.
