This is super cool tech. But I can't help thinking that this shows that the Pixel camera lead must be someone with an engineering background who got nerd sniped by this problem because it's cool and hard to do. Someone with a product background would've focused on something less niche.

On the other hand, some people who like Google like it because it still sometimes works on geeky, cool, fun stuff instead of being super product focused.

My impression is that night sight as a feature has been pretty impactful in the market. As in, people buy them on this feature alone
Night sight for normal night photography, absolutely. Taking pictures in low-light situations is common. Astrophotography on the other hand is much less common.
