While the Pixel 6 ushered in three years of major Android OS version updates and an additional two for security patches, that’s still nowhere near the longevity of the iPhone. Google hopes to change that on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro with noticeably more OS updates.

Most people won't remember software updates after 4-5 years. People want a reliable phone, easy and cheap to repair. More durable glasses (like the new Huawei/Honor).
Yeah, but trusting CCP-compromised companies with your personal phone is not a great idea.
Probably fine if you're not a journalist, activist, politician, public servant or responsible for anything important.
