It's interesting because the OEM is quite likely to be in the 'Avoid at all costs!' bucket based on current information.

Hey, If they want to improve, they can always get a second chance. At least from me.

But I'm also quite happy with my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and I have no reason to change. And unless Google changes their bootloader-stance in the future I might continue buying Pixels anyways. But its always good to have more options.
