Pixel 4 supports display out through USB C but Google intentionally disabled it

There has been a lot of talk about the hidden desktop mode for Android. I was wondering if Google Pixel 4 supported display out but many people have stated that it doesn't. Hardware wise, it does but for some reason unlike everyone else who supports it through hardware, Google intentionally disabled it. Wasn't sure if anyone was aware of this so I just wanted to bring attention to this with the hope of getting the attention of someone at Google to enable it. The funny thing is almost all flagship phones INCLUDING iPhone support it while pixel does not. Here is the source of information that shows the disabled function:

Here is an article XDA just did about this: https://www.xda-developers.com/make-android-10-desktop-mode-useful/
