When you don’t control the hardware a lot is off the table.

This is a fine excuse for most everyone, but not Google. They can control the hardware significantly and in some cases like pixel, completely.

They no longer believe in owner control. Either that or they consider themselves the device owner, which is even worse IMHO

Sounds like a marketing opportunity to sell more Pixels and get closer to their current dream of becoming Apple
