My old Nokia 5500 phone had that feature way back in 2008. One of the slickest thing ever. My phone will be in my pocket and I could control my music just by tapping my pocket.

while I have customised mine to have shortcuts to features but having a hardware gesture that will work no matter what is great. why are you complaining about more features?

It's a good feature too but Google should also implement it on the Pixel 3...
