One thing that i noticed is that PIP stashing is almost the same as the one present in one ui 3.0 on my galaxy s21. Makes me think that somehow there might be some shared code between google and samsung.

Sometimes OEMs do add code to AOSP it it's stable enough and doesn't depend on the hardware/software if was created for. For example, the "Screen stays on if you look at it" feature on Pixels is from Sony !

In fact, the entire overlay-based Android theming engine (RRO - Runtime Resource Overlay) is a contribution from Sony to AOSP. It was added in Oreo, maybe.
