Indeed, when my Pixel 1 abruptly failed it would not turn on at all. Not merely briefly, not a boot loop, it was truly a brick and there was no way to alter what was on it. I thought it was unfortunate that it happened a mere few months past the end of warranty, but at least that way I didn't send it back to Google. Instead, a local school got it for the students to disassemble in a technology course.
Now, I don't store nudes on my phone. That said, it was recently suggested to me, here on HN, to use a scanner app in lieu of a flatbed scanner for all my scanning needs (primarily documents around tax time). Not so sure that's a good idea versus this.
