14-inch MacBook trackpad suddenly can not use gestures, can only move the cursor. Currently, I can only solve the problem by restarting the mac. Is there a problem with my computer hardware or a system compatibility problem?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Try a safeboot to clear system cache files, reboot and compare your results
SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
