My SO has used Pixel phones exclusively since they first came out and every single one somehow seemed to update every week and progressively get buggies.
And the hardware is even worse. Already RMA'd her first Pixel 6 Pro, thought we'd have to RMA it again last week because the gyro was stuck on the y axis (luckily dropping it fixed the issue for now).
Battery life has been incredibly poor comparing to any other comparable phones. Signal strength likewise having issues even in a urban city of 300k people.
Pretty scummy overall, but average user probably doesn't understand the drives could fail at any moment and that the older the drives age the more likely it will fail.
Regardless though, it would better serve to warn users to have a backup of their data than just a blanket age-shaming.
