Google apps found in /e/ system on Essential PH-1 (mata)

/e/ version: Test builds e-0.19-r-20211030143465-dev-mata.zip & e-0.20-q-20211208150509-dev-mata.zip
Device model(s): mata
Device rooted: no

The problem

Three google apps are present on the device as system apps. The package names are: com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle, com.android.hotwordenrollment.tgoogle & com.android.hotwordenrollment.xgoogle

I became aware of this after reading a forum post where another user had noticed google apps on a new installation on a OnePlus 7T hotdogb.
