As a Pixel user I hope this isn't a case of: Be careful what you wish for. Will future OS updates be better across the board or will they remove features?

Well as an iOS user, the last iOS release fucked me up pretty badly. Ergo, I would assume the same is possible from Google.

What I'd like is an exit route for my hardware aka LineageOS. But of course the core of Android is Google Play Services, not the OS so that's a painful situation if you want to retain some apps when you switch over.

I used a Pixel 6A for 3 months while I was travelling internationally and I liked most of it.

Exactly. What I want is only security updates and no feature updates unless I explicitly consent. It's simply in vogue for designers to redesign the software interface every once a while and they invariably fuck up niche use cases.

The recent watchOS update from Apple is incredibly disappointing https://furbo.org/2023/09/28/the-timer-in-watchos-10/
