Are you high?

A little, but that’s not a factor in this opinion. I think iOS is awful to use.

I don’t disagree but android was already clunky, with less integration across devices (for better or worse), and now you can’t even sideload. What advantages does it have left?

I’m not sure where the thought that it’s clunky comes from, but the advantage to me is that I like the Android OS way more the the Apple OS. I don’t care about integration across devices because I don’t have more than one android device. Anytime I switch phones I login and everything loads in from my latest back up and it just works. I can connect to my computer with KDE connect or plug in with USB C if needed.
I’m not claiming it’s a better functioning product, I’m just saying the Android UX > Apple UX. The pixel has the advantage of flashing something like grapheneOS which no iPhones can do. Even with locking down side loading apps, there is still more freedom on Android devices than there are on iOS.
Also, I don’t like the feel of iPhones. I’m sure it’s something I would get used to, but it’s not my first choice.
