MTE is very important because its a measure against an entire, very important class of vulnerabilities, memory safety vulnerabilities.

Generations of MTE improve over time. The implementation of MTE used on a Pixel 8 for example has certain side channels which arent present in the MTE used on an iPhone 17. That being said, it being imperfect doesn't make it irrelevant.
