There have been many documented cases of horrible support for both the Pixel series and Fi, with many articles appearing here.
I have the original Pixel beside me and I get frustrated at the piss poor pure Android experience. Dark mode GMail should have been released when Android supported dark mode instead of several months later. Maps still doesn't have a dark mode. At least they finally fixed the bottom navigation buttons on Maps which were white on white with a light grey shadow. In fact, many apps from Google don't have a dark mode.
The Pixel has trouble with gestures which started happening after Android 10 was installed. The biggest problem is sliding the keypad to unlock. Google support has no clue how to fix it. It is the same stupidity you get from the Idiot Bar at Apple.
My account used for Fi (and Android) isn't the account I use for mail. Gmail used to allow disabling accounts, but not anymore. Years ago Google added a unified inbox, but last year they regressed by defaulting to the primary account inbox. Even though there is an All Inboxes selection at the top of the folder menu, that is not the default.
I have location services turned off, including the Fi app. I have notification turned off for the Fi app as well. Yet, every hour I get a notification from Fi telling me to turn on location services. I had to disable the Fi app.
A recent update to Android Message keeps sending Fi carrier verification codes for RCS even though I don't want this enabled. Google has no clue why it is happening or how to stop it.
If you ever have a problem with a payment method used to pay for any Google service or product, Google may disable your account. Worse of all, there is nothing the Fi people can do about it because payments is a separate part of the company.
I could go on about inconsistent sync/autosync behavior but what is the point. Android and the Google apps are mess and every month it gets worse. The Pixel experience encompasses crappy hardware that is sold at a premium and runs crappy software.
Every Pixel has bad batches coming out of manufacturing and Google often replaces defective phones with defective phones. It is like Apple, when they replace the butterfly keyboard with another butterfly keyboard.
