Except that’s not how that works - creating a healthy used resale market drives demand for the Pixel phones. I may not be giving them my money directly, but it’s still of huge monetary benefit to Google if I purchase one of their phones used. I like grapheneOS, I really do, but it’s inseparability from Google hardware is a serious problem.
If only you didn’t have to give google money to be able to install it.
Buy used and unlocked. Just sold one at my work, was a pixel 8 pro for 300 USD.
