It is not about blaming Motorola or Google. It is about the company stamped on the phone acknowledging there is an issue.

 

At this point I do not need an explanation, I just want someone from the company to step up and say something…. ANYTHING….. PLEASE!

Here's the option in the settings on my 6P (Android 7.1) that eradicates this issue and works perfectly.
