Trackpad pinch to zoom gesture fails occasionally
I have a new M1 Pro MBP, with Monterey 12.0.1 - I use spread/pinch gestures a lot (in Figma design tool), and frequently the gesture isn't recognized.
About 80% of the time it works correctly; about 15% of the time neither finger is detected (I can keep pinching/spreading my fingers as much as I want, and nothing happens to the zoom/cursor).
About 5% of the time one finger is detected, and the cursor moves, but zoom is unchanged.
I can reproduce this in safe mode, across different apps (Safari, Figma, Chrome), and I was also able to repeat it in an Apple store with one of their M1 MacBook Pros, and also when using one of their external Magic Trackpad. So it's highly likely a software bug.
There are several reports of trackpad issues with tap to click:

While testing for the pinch/spread gesture bug on my old 2018 MBP (still on Big Sur), I couldn't reproduce the bug, but did get something related.
Occasionally in Safari, I can spread my fingers to zoom in on the page, but when I pinch to zoom out, it immediately switches to thumbnail view of my tabs (the equivalent of pinching from 100% view). When I click back into the page, it's still in the zoomed-in view. Essentially, the pinch gesture skips zooming out the page, and goes straight to zooming out to thumbnails. I can reproduce this in Monterey on the M1 Pro MBP, so it's possibly a bug that still exists. Mentioning it in case it's related.
