Why doesn't Google Pixel's Hold For Me and Direct My Call feature show up/work?

Other people on Reddit in the UK saying they've got it.

@hammyhavoc 

Have you set it up?

Use Direct My Call - Pixel phone Help (google.com)

From Google's help page on Direct My Call:

Direct My Call only works:

Hold for me is present and apparently activated on my P8P. Can't find Direct My Call though, are you sure that's been rolled out beyond the US?

@hammyhavoc Seems to be similar restrictions to Hold for Me also:
