Why did the launcher on moto z play not update with 7.1.1

[bobocuwado]

Hey, i recently updated my moto z play to 7.1.1. I am pretty happy with everything. the only thing that i find odd is that the home launcher is still the same as on marshmallow. The moto g5 has the new motorola launcher with the slide up bar to access the app drawer aswell as a updated weather clock widget. now both of them are not updated on the moto z play that i have. My question is: does anybody own a moto z play where they have updated launcher and weather clock widget? or was that never planned on motorolas side.
