My pixel 3xl was in beta so I rolled back to offical version , it factory reset the device but I went through the wizard set up process up to use your Google account and said lock , I then enter my credentials and from there perform erase and factory reset which was fine afterwards.
Yes as mentioned in my earlier post the only time I have seen ask for Google password is when the factory reset happens after opting out of beta. Probably it asks in situations where the factory reset was not triggered manually from the setting - factory reset menu.
