What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

That is kind of the point of the Pixel. To be the iPhone of Android.
Not an apple fanboi but isnt that coming to the iphone in the next ios update?
Not sure what point is being made here. I'm saying that Pixel is the iPhone of Android because it is aimed at the same market. It is the stylish, simple, don't have to think about it solution that is updated regularly and has the best their OS can provide.
?
I mean that Pixel is the default, slick, polished option. It isn't like Samsung that has every software feature and form factor under the sun, the absolute best specs, the lowest price, etc.
It is the slick, polished default option. The option that you recommend everyone.
While you have a point, I think the pixel stands out because of the giant visor it has now. It stands out more than iPhones today.
Google is definitely embracing that look, but if we're cynical about it, that's also following in Apple's playbook. Apple basically made the home button on their older iPhones their design queue for years. And then they switched to the notch, and it was again their design signature. And recently they switched to the pill shaped camera cutout, and again, it's a design feature.
