The issue you'll run into is that everybody has a different idea of a life improving app. You can't cater to everybody and make their choice the default. Google does a pretty decent job elevating the truly popular apps to the default status: see flashlight, night mode, hotspotting, photo filters, etc. But your life quality app is not my life quality app - and that's ok. That's the place where apps step in.

I remember being very not impressed by a Nexus 6P -- and the first Pixel.

Maybe things have changed.
