Oh, agreed. Leading up to the launch of the first Pixel, I ran into this myself. There wasn't a huge difference between the new Pixel and my 6P... When the modded Google camera that brought the zero shutter lag HDR+ to the 6P, there was no functional reason for switching... It basically did everything, just a smidge slower. So I skipped it, and didn't miss a beat. I waited for the 2XL... Which lead to me not bothering to even consider the 3... For most of the same reasons.
And with Google pushing the update window to three years, I could have skipped one more year... Considered it for a bit, but in the end, there was enough improvements in the 4XL that had my pull the trigger.
