That's the brand confusion born of appropriating Google's Pixel mark and the reason why trademark protection exists.

If you make a hamburger seasoning blend that approximates the taste of McDonald's and call it "McDonald's burger flavor", you're going to have a bad time with the legal system. I don't expect this to fly either.

I don't know, I was never confused about the branding.

You said, "I first thought that it was a replacement OS for Google Pixel phone", which was my experience as well. I was arguing that confusion began with the branding. It could be said that better copy on the landing page could offset it, but it's still a reasonable interpretation of the name 'PixelOS'.
