I’m not sure Google needs to know more about me than they already do.
But then why would they want to give you Gemini if not for your data

Seems like a cool idea but, so far with Gemini on my Pixel, I hate that I can’t tell what’s on device and what’s in the cloud and I ended up uninstalling it. I’m not sure Google needs to know more about me than they already do.
Supposedly the phone can run local models but I’ve only seen it in the recorder app, which isn’t really that useful.

They sold me a device and want me to buy another.

I doubt they sell Pixel devices to profit from the hardware sale, they sell them to push the market in the direction they want, as well as to hoover up your data.

I only recently learned of GrapheneOS and I’ve been tempted to install it on my 8 Pro, I may soon give it a shot. Do you find anything to be missing in terms of feature availability or in the Google play sandbox? There are a few games I don’t want to without.

Well, it's expensive technology to develop, and there's no other business model behind it than surveillance. So I think it's fair to expect the surveillance part of it to be difficult to neutralise.
