Make Google Pixels more valuable on the second hand market means even more reason for people to buy one new because they know it will still have value to some nerd. It still helps google.

¡Exactly! Like, at that point you could buy a Fairphone used, and if you do that in your own country at least you have some level of assurance that it was already working with the cellular network in-place.

Exactly. Fairphones support eOS with relocking the bootloader. You can even buy a new fairphone with eOS preinstalled.

No need to ride some hype train that benefits Scroogle.
