Software upgrades within a week or so of Google releasing new Android, no bloatware, fast, excellent battery life.

Sounds like the Nokia phones to me - I have a Nokia 6.1 and it ticks most of those boxes. (I don't know if the battery counts as excellent - it lasts ~36 hours if I'm not using it constantly but that seems about average for a new battery in most mid range phones)

I'll say the same about my Pixel.

Android One phones will do it on software side.

And given enough thrust pigs will fly. I'm sure it would be magical when it actually happens but it has not happened so far.

The battery is only 3040mAh and isn't even removable. Not impressive at all.

I don't think any of those features are related to their failure. They launched with a sub-par product in the $700 price range.
