> Google has a history of dropping support for the devices they sell quickly

They do?

Aren't Pixels some of the longest-supported phones, security update wise?

Their IoT and software services might be another story.

> Aren't Pixels some of the longest-supported phones, security update wise?

Apple's $399 original iPhone SE from 2016 got six years of OS updates and received another security update last month.

Google's original Pixel Phone, also from 2016, stopped getting support at the end of 2019.

Typing this on a Pixel 2a running Android 12. It is out of support now, but that's not too shabby for a $300 phone from 2017.
