well.. if you superzoom... perhaps... who does that on a cell phone photo?

The out-of-Google-Pixel JPEG has better noise reduction and [more] contrast.

better = more?

Good noise reduction is better. When done poorly it blurs results, but that hasn't happened much here. Your example below shows a problem, but it matters hardly at all when considering the overall image.

I'll concede that contrast is a matter of taste; more is not necessarily better.

honestly stunned that the mess on the left image can be defended, whole patches of hair basically blurred into a contiguous blob of colour:

For me this isn't a matter of taste - your Raw conversion has so much noise that the fur follicles look like dotted lines.

If you have a good Raw converter such as DxO, it's possible to get superior results from cellphone DNG. I had good results with Topaz Denoise, with Affinity Photo to color correct because Denoise can't do it.
