if this is due to that specific manufacturer having battery fires, i don't hate it as it seems like the battery replacement option is basically the same as a recall. completely different from a random bug causing it or an across-the-board EOL update. pixel longevity isn't great, but at least they're relatively easy to maintain and the device protection program is acceptable.
I guess even if we didn't hate it, it'd be nice if they said that, so people knew that it's not a buggy update, but rather, they have a ticking time bomb in their pants pocket.
