I've had just about every iteration of Android Phone since they first were introduced. I have a Pixel XL and without question it was the best phone I've ever owned...until the Android Pie update. Now, literally the worst, slowest, and most unresponsive phone I've ever owned.
I know that issues occur from time to time with a new OS release and that there are now two newer generations of Pixel available and that support for older versions wanes as newer ones are released but herein lays my question.
Could there be a concerted effort by Google to stifle and "sabotage" the phones features, connectivity, and chip speed in order to prompt some poor buffoon (like me) into throwing it out of a moving car with the intent of buying a new phone in order to get that once again fresh, fast phone feeling that would only come with the brand new, feature packed, user enhanced experience, Google Pixel 3? Could my Wifi, Bluetooth, battery life (went from 3% usage per hour in standby to 25% per hour) and overall processing speed degradation (that have all actually gotten progressively gotten worse since the Pie Update) be the result of the Android Pie Adaptive processes or a result of Google's Adaptive Customer Upgrade process wherein users are forced into purchasing a new phone to maintain some normal and reasonable phone usage expectations?
Am I paranoid and a conspiracy theorist or could there be some actual validity to my issues? (even though I would have to admit that it would be a very intelligent business tactic on Google's part).
I guess if I owned a company like Google, I would approve such a tactic if it led to increased phone sales...I just wouldn't put it in writing in a memo or formal procedure where there was any evidence of it...but that's just me.

. Sometimes things happen when you install a new OS on a phone, and you need to clean things up. Has helped me many times over the years when things don't work as well after installing a new OS version.
