Unlike Apple, Google's main business isn't selling hardware, nor do they use hardware as the chokepoint for controlling their ecosystem.

It could change in future devices, but currently there's not much stopping you from doing whatever you want with your Pixel's software.

Sure, I think Pixels are great devices! The two brands I would consider are FairPhone and Pixel, to be honest.

I just find it ironic that I mostly deGoogled my tools, but still I would consider a Pixel with GrapheneOS :-).
