The AOSP and latest Pixel versions of Android have some extremely outdated version of the Noto fonts.

For example:

Gujarati is stuck on 2013's version (1.03) despite v2.106 being released in 2023
Symbols is on v1.09 despite a decade of advances.
Oriya Regular dates back to 2015, but had a release earlier this year

Comparing https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:external/noto-fonts/;bpv=1 to https://github.com/notofonts/notofonts.github.io , I estimate that around 80 Noto fonts are missing from AOSP.

For example:

Noto Music Regular
Noto Sans Chakma Regular
Noto Serif Khmer Regular

I am happy to provide a more comprehensive list, if that's useful.

Could AOSP please include updates to its fonts?

There are a lot of expensive accessories I've purchased or been gifted that quit workin with android 4.2. Android devs need to get on this. 3 broken versions and numerous minor updates and it hasn't even been triaged yet. Completely unprofessional.

I abandoned iPhone to discover something better, but I'm finding a lot of my Bluetooth paired devices won't work properly on android... I hope this gets fixed soon. I don't want to have to buy an iPhone again and suffer with their long agreements and system restrictions.
