What's ridiculous about it ? There are now 4-5 gens of Pixels with their major/minor bumps too (A series, pro, etc.). There's enough variety at different price points for everyone there.

The other devices don't meet the criteria. Be happy that Pixels are supported, for Google seems to closing down Pixel OS too, making this whole effort rather difficult.

> The other devices don't meet the criteria

you got it wrong way around

the CONSUMER criteria is "we want better independent security ON DEVICES WE ALREADY OWN"

complaints like in this thread are symptoms of unfullfilled demand - and they can't be solved by saying "oh gosh, what a stupid demand that doesn't agree with our supply"

car analogy: I want my gazoline car to have hybrid engine. For free.

vendor: not possible

you: unfulfilled demand

me: the way I see it, you get a product for free if you fulfill certain conditions. If not, you buy these conditions.

What a bad analogy, acting as if the extra security could only be an all-in.

Nobody said it was stupid, but you wanting something doesn't make it a requirement for a project with different goals.

I was going to type something, but upon a second read I see you say 'consumer' instead of 'customer'. Fair enough.
