This is a major strategic shift for the standard Pixel flagship phone. However, this also signals Google’s acceptance that it’s no longer copying Apple’s strategy for base flagship phones.

Since then, I’ve had a couple of Lenovo Smart Displays, some JBL Link speakers, the JBL Link View, the Google Home Mini, Nest Audio, Nest Hub, and many others that are too esoteric to remember.
