Because Android on Pixel devices *is* as Google developed it and not modified by Samsung or any other manufacturer. Of course Google installs their own apps on it. But most of these apps can be removed or at least disabled. The point is, that any feature provided by Android itself is not modifed as it is usually the case on devices by Samsung, Motorla, Xiaomi etc. - because those manufacturers want to provide a "unique" user experience by adding their own UI and their own *system* modifications to Android. > Now do the same exercise for Windows and Chrome! What execercise? There is no Windows 10 or 11 which is modified by the manufacturer in the same way as Android on Smartphones. You only get a bunch of apps pre-installed in Windows - but things like Windows Explorer, Windows settings etc. will always look the same, the no matter what device you purchase with Windows. Also with Windows comes Edge as default browser, which is not the case for Android devices where you either get Chrome or Samsung Internet or Xiaomi Browser or whatever the manufacturer decided to provide. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
