Did I imagine this setting of is it hidden somewhere?
Ha, so there is indeed something missing in the settings? I've also looked through all the settings and searched for a way to configure the touchpad gestures at all. Couldn't find anything. Would be very happy to learn about how to do this on Wayland. (On X I've just used the nice program Touchégg and could configure it the way I liked, even on a per app basis.)

Questions about TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 16 - Gen7 Max Performance Edition
I'm running Fedora (well Nobara specifically) with Wayland. However, you can get nice touch gestures on most any laptop with X11 using a tool like Touchégg if they are not already working. I've used tools like this for almost a decade to get nice multitouch gestures under X11 with great success.

Touch pad in Elementary OS
elementary OS uses touchegg to handle touchpad gestures, and you can configure it anyw ay you pleaase: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg. The options available by default in elementary OS gestures are kinda rudimentary, so I also recommend https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.joseexposito.touche to more easily define them the exact way you like, and to also maybe even set-up custom gestures for different applications.

[PopOS] Linux Pinch-Zoom Gesture Not Working?
You can try using this library. I installed Pop OS using the same wiki too. Were you able to use the mic toggle using the method given there? It's not working for me. Also, CPU runs a bit hot compared to Windows and battery life is just 2 hours with integrated graphics.
