I've never had a Pixel, simply because I get all my phones free, so I get
whatever phone they want to give me, for free, which is currently the
Samsung Galaxy A32-5G from 2021 which is doing just fine for me.
Who is "they"? Mobile network providers? They usually don't give things
away for free but instead you get this for extending the contract for
another 1 or 2 years and they charge you more for that contract compared
to those customers who don't take the "free" device. Depending on the
provider the "free" device may even be more expensive this way when you
sum up the monthly fees you pay in two years.
You live in a world that is foreign to Americans, where we get plenty of
phones for free, without contracts, and without any real strings attached.
But we do have to pay local sales tax on the full MSRP of our free phones.
Also the iPhones aren't free for some reason, as they're only 1/2 price.

We even get free tablet SIM cards for life, but at only 200 MB/month data.
