I could able to buy a Pixel, but when I thought about what I could do in case of a malfunction, I decided to buy an iPhone. Other than that, I agree with what you said to the letter.

If you’re running it degoogled, which is the only way you should be running it because otherwise it’s worse than an iPhone, I don’t know how much support you’d get in the first place tbh. Wdym they don’t sell it - it’s not available on other marketplaces either new?
