sad, was thinking to switch from iPhone to pixel 10 in few months once released exactly for the reason that is clean android and gives and escape hatch to use grapheneOS or lineageOS or calysOS. Any other android phone manufacturer that is supported by any of those projects? Most devices supported except pixel devices are few years old.

That pretty much sums it up, there's a reason all of those custom ROMs pivoted to supporting basically just Pixels. Apart from Pixels, your only options are Fairphone and a few years old Chinese models (Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus), none of which are even close to state-of-the-art hardware.

Custom ROMs are pretty much dead, this just might be the final nail in their coffin.

Well, Pixel is arguably pretty shitty hardware as well

I truly hate how crappy their processors are, it's insane that their upcoming flagship will have the same performance as a three year old flagship.

you don't need it, it's just a phone. Yeah maybe now, but in two years when the pixel is shitting itself you will understand.

If GrapheneOS dies, that's probably it for me with pixels. The only advantage left is how cheap you can get a new flagship pixel on the gray market.
