Unless they stated otherwise elsewhere, why are you assuming they went from the Nexus 5 straight to the Pixel? There’s also the Nexus 6 (2014) and 5X/6P (2015) before the Pixel (2016).

I paid less than half for my 5X than my girlfriend paid for her iPhone. It makes no difference. They were way cheaper.
