    Full AOSP compatibility for Pixel devices is a huge reason to buy a Pixel instead of a 3rd party OEM. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

        Maybe but those 1% of buyers are multiplicators incentivizing others to buy the same phone.

          Yes, they incentivize another 0.001%. How is google going to survive this?

            Tech geeks acting as multiplication factors are the people who brought Apple from obscurity to mainstream.

              That was 40 years ago. Any more recent examples?

                I don’t agree with the other person but the closest example that I could find would be OnePlus. They had no physical shops, used word of mouth (influencers), had good marketing (flagship killer), and were relatively cheap. They quickly rose the ranks and became a mainstream brand.
