Neither Nexus nor glass was killed.

Nexus became pixel. Glass never left beta and is still an enterprise product.

Nexus and Pixel are very different. They are both phones but the market and strategy is not the same.

In what way?

The major differences are that Google is more involved with pixel hardware design than nexus (probably a good thing), and that pixels are more expensive (which follows the market price for flagship phones).

They both fill the niche of first-party flagship devices with the "pure, as google intended" (or something) android experience.
