Well, Pixel is arguably pretty shitty hardware as well

Sadly it's also only reasonably secure Android phone :(
I truly hate how crappy their processors are, it's insane that their upcoming flagship will have the same performance as a three year old flagship.
you don't need it, it's just a phone. Yeah maybe now, but in two years when the pixel is shitting itself you will understand.
If GrapheneOS dies, that's probably it for me with pixels. The only advantage left is how cheap you can get a new flagship pixel on the gray market.
The Pixel 10 ought to have a TSMC SoC (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-10-3470386)

this is not true at all. the 1yr old OP12 has LineageOS and so does the 6 months old 13R, with support for the 13 incoming.
I see only oneplus 11 in the officially supported phones list. I'm not interested in unofficial port - in the era of SGS2 I played many custom unofficial rooms but this days I don't have time for it
That pretty much sums it up, there's a reason all of those custom ROMs pivoted to supporting basically just Pixels. Apart from Pixels, your only options are Fairphone and a few years old Chinese models (Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus), none of which are even close to state-of-the-art hardware.
Custom ROMs are pretty much dead, this just might be the final nail in their coffin.
