What's wrong with not continuing to sell the model 2 versions back? There certainly are things to criticize Google for, but this seems like a particularly weird one to me.
Fold at least is 1 version back kinda. Released a month before pixel 8 but with pixel 7s CPU. That being said I am not of the same opinion of the top commenter.
If I understood correctly, this is about Google stopping selling those phones, not stopping to give software updates. Pretty reasonable since they're now two generations behind.
