All of this makes me think I should just switch to a flip phone. It's exhausting having to constantly drop hundreds of dollars every 3 years just to stay safe.

I have a Pixel 5 that does everything I want. Google will stop supporting it within the next year. It doesn't make sense to me that this device already needs to be recycled. Yes, I know about custom ROMs, but even those end support for perfectly OK phones (GrapheneOS for example no longer supports Pixel 3a).

I completely agree. My phone lost official LineageOS support last year but it still works fine and I cannot justify throwing it away to replace with a new expensive device full of features I don't give a damn about. Probably I'm just stupid but I'm going to keep using it until it breaks.
