You decided to reward Motorola with money for not updating. Why should "Google care more" about you when you decided to give money to manufacturer which doesn't update software?

My Nexus 9 runs 7.1.1. My Nexus 5X runs 7.1.1. My Pixel XL runs 7.1.1. Vote with your wallet or complain instead of giving money to OEMs that screw you.

The Nexus/Pixel devices are expensive and don't have SD card expansion. It'd be nice to have cheap, SD card and updates. I don't think any phone covers all that nowadays.

I had Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and both Nexus 7s. I tried really hard to stick to it for exactly your reason, but all those devices stopped getting updates long before they stopped working anyway. Pixel is a ridiculously expensive thing and I don't trust it will get more than just this year's android.
