Not sure how I should feel about that. It's highly likely any party engaged in tracking activities will try to grab as much data as they can. So a non-Google device seems like it would be doing twice the amount of data collection.
But considering Google also controls the hardware design of the Pixel, it wouldn't surprise me if they have some additional tricks up their sleeve.
What we really need is a full open-source phone, including firmware. Maybe we'll get there one day.
