Quick answer, no. Lesson learned the first.
Apple, Google gives me incentive to upgrade unlike OnePlus and SAMSUNG.
Yes, Google drops the price after the buzz and by then I'm on to the next big thing.
The first pixel was ugly AF and worst it cost more to upgrade then the iPhone but because of my addiction I went ahead. I even said some BS, how Google Assistant was worth it. LOL Look it up.
Back then it was advantage because of bloatware, lagging due to poor skins by LG, SAMSUNG, etc. The past few years the game has changed especially after OnePlus' Oxygen and Samsung's One UI. I could care less about the camera and not fussy about OS upgrades.
Bring down the initial launch price by even just $200 and throw in say, WirelessCharger, I will consider it. I doubt that'll happen.
