As someone who has been using Pixels (and Motos and Nexuses) for a while, I was getting them largely because they were pretty hassle free to crack the bootloader and sideload a ROM that lets me actually modify the interface (and other root-access shenanigans). That said, I recently learned about graphene and I intend to give it a try when I have the time to mess with things.
I am surprised you didn’t install graphene on it? Seems to be the only reason to buy a pixel imo
