We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google’s quality control

I think this is rather location dependent. Here in Aus a lot of people I know use them. Just some more anecdotal evidence.

Australia does have some quirks, as many Australians like to point out :D

According to marketshare figures, last year Google had 3 percent marketshare in Australia. IPhone was 43.8 percent, followed by Samsung with 31.8, followed by Oppo (4.5) Lenovo (3.6), HDM (3) and finally: there’s Google with 3 percent.

In the US, iPhone and Samsung have bigger shares and Google is at about 4 percent (was 2 in 2022)

So at least from the statistics, Google isn’t doing particularly well in Australia either. But you certainly might run with a particular group of people who prefer them over other brands. People do like to conform to a group.
