I belive you are mistaken.

Firat of all, some part of Android is updated via the store. So the Chrome vulnerability and system libraries were probably updated without you noticing.

Also, this started in May. Before it went public both Apple and Google had already patched some vulnerabilities. Latest round was in August/September.

I got a September security update for my Pixel 5, I think 2 days ago.

Huh, Pixel 7 Pro here and the last update, even after a manual check, is 5 August

LineageOS on OnePlus Nord, last security update: September 5

Updates occur all the time, what do mean there's none since August?

Apps get updated but what I'm worried about is that the android image view uses libwebp which means all the apps that just ask the OS to display untrusted images are vulnerable to an update.

I'm not sure the image view has been seperated out into any of the play store updated components. None of the ones name and description suggest they'll have OS UI widgets like that.
