As far as I can tell from contemporary sources, Pixel 1 launched with a promise of two years of major releases + one additional year of security updates [0]. This was in October 2016. They exceeded that, and actually did three years of major releases, and security updates for a couple of months longer than promised, with the last one in December 2019 [1].

Seems like they a) delivered more than initially promised, b) did not drop it just a year after release. How long a support period do you think they actually promised, and where did they promise it?
