Except that’s not how that works - creating a healthy used resale market drives demand for the Pixel phones. I may not be giving them my money directly, but it’s still of huge monetary benefit to Google if I purchase one of their phones used. I like grapheneOS, I really do, but it’s inseparability from Google hardware is a serious problem.

No, it drives demand for used pixel phones. No one’s buying new pixels to supply the used market. They don’t interact in that way.
If you really want to make sure Google never benefits, buy one off Craigslist, put a case on it, and tell people its a Samsung galaxy with a custom home screen.
