> A classy phone not from a giant tech company or with questionable governmental ties? No forced bloatware? Fast, reliable updates? There's really no market for that? The market is stupid and wrong.

How is this a differentiator though? Besides the "not from a giant tech company" you get all those with a Pixel and you also get a great camera.

Is there any reason to trust this random company over a big company? It's not like this is a nonprofit where they're donating their money to some noble cause.
