I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

The real elephant in the room is that Google has claimed a commitment to this or that for X number of years so many times and changed their minds it isn't even funny. They just killed a Pixel support program last month before ever fulfilling the commitment they made for it...

Nobody should buy this marketing line unless they have a contract guaranteeing some penalty for Google for failing to uphold this.
