Same disappointment here.
Still have my Pixel 5 next to Zenfone 8. Pixel 5 received all patches Nov, Dec, Jan and yesterday Feb 2022.
Hopefully Asus will update it shortly...
Appart from this, very happy with my Zenfone 8. With battery saver in dev options, battery life is not far from Pixel 5. With light use, 2 days easy with not much data but wifi.
Camera wise, with Gcam, it's very close to P5. Sometimes a bit better, sometimes a bit worse. Stock cam has less details, and colors are less accurate. But definitively not bad 😉
Performance is too much for my need, S765G is already enough on Pixel 5 for my light use. But really like compact devices, and getting this Zenfone 8 at 499€ in 8/256Go was a no brainer for me.
Please Asus, push at least 1 security patch 1 month on 2...

Pretty much the same experience as you (I also have an S10e besides the P5), minus the disappointment. Asus has been doing very well with updates until now, minus this mysterious A12 OTA delay. I trust they will do so in the future.
In fact, Google ruined the P5 for me with A12: vibrate-only mode hidden from bar (I would often forget the phone is in this mode), hidden alarm notification, and the new wifi quick toggle sealed the deal for me in favor of the Z8. I had already favored the latter for its limit to charging the battery (80-90%), a real phone speaker, an audio jack and a notification led, but now it's no competition really. (Too bad, I loved the P5 on A11.)
As for the S10e, it got the official A12 in December and an update in January. Samsung is not messing around.
