But as someone else said we got that with an increase of support from a low of 18 months for the 2011 Google Galaxy Nexus to 7 years with the current Google Pixel 8.

It would be worse if they made minor fixes to the screen, cpu and camera but kept calling it the Pixel 5. Consumers wouldn't know what they're getting. We had that nonsense with game consoles where you had to look at serial numbers to know if your Xbox had been fixed.
