Can’t agree on Samsung at all, unless it’s an old model that you plan to put LineageOS on to wipe all the crap away. Samsung’s flavor of Android is one of the most extensively modified of manufacturer variants and they push their own stuff over Google’s or AOSP’s hard.
+1, every Samsung device that I’ve owned has been super in my face with apps and ads and services that I couldn’t give less of a shit about. Their hardware is fine but oh man OneUI is a hot mess until you freeze or disable a bunch of stuff.
Apple, Google, Samsung. Probably in that order.

Google hardware has limited worldwide availability which pretty much makes them non-mainstream.
That would be a really good point, if that user weren’t clearly in Germany where Pixels are widely available.
