Everything you say is correct, until you hit the real life 😅
Most of us already have a LTS device, which grant us ime to wait prices to drop.
Also, 1000 $/€ are almost a salary for some of us.
Buying a Pixel for half the price means I still have budget left to continuing paying for VPSs and domains for the rest of the year, and possibly beyond.
I bet this is not only me.
1000 $/€ would be justified only if I have to buy simultaneously laptop and smartphone and I opt for Signature 27 and some hw for desktop mode.
