They do:
admin@ip-10-0-0-252:~$ ec2metadata --ami-id ; ec2metadata --availability-zone ; ec2metadata --instance-type ; cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
ami-0d2c5c43cf2ea11a3
us-west-2a
t4g.medium
10.6
Linux ip-10-0-0-252 4.19.0-11-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) aarch64 GNU/Linux
Are you trying to launch from the AWS Marketplace? They might not be
listed as supporting t4g there, since last time I checked, the
Marketplace UI didn't actually have an option to select t4g support.
The only issue with the current AMIs on t4g is that they don't support
CPU steal-time accounting, which might make it in to 10.7 if the kernel
team is willing to merge
