Well, I mean, they are talking about customizing a Pixel 4a, which is made by Google. So I while I think it's reasonable to question the meaning of "No Google", it's clear that Google cannot and will not be taken out of the picture entirely, since they make the hardware.

Pixels can run without Google involvement. Instead of a phone, think of a Pixel as an empty Pepsi bottle filled with delicious Jolt cola instead.
