I think it's "quiet" in the sense that they don't send a push notification to affected phones when they're about to go EOL, so you don't know it happens unless you go out of your way to check.

Or put the EOL in the final OS update for that phone, with a permanent status icon / notification warning that the device is EOL. It's not like they decide at their morning stand-up, "hey, Pixel 2 has been out for a while; anyone object to killing it off today?" There's plenty of time to roll that sort of thing out, however it works under the hood.
