Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I can't go back because they don't sell any small phones.
I picked the Pixel 8 because:
If there was a smaller version available, I would've gotten that instead.
I picked the Pixel A because:
Glad I can use it and type on it one-handed, can't imagine using a bigger phone.
I almost did, but I found the 8 used for a good price and the size difference was minimal.
The only A series Pixel phone smaller than the Pixel 8 was the Pixel 4a.
Pixel 8, even now that 9 is out, is still around $400 compared to 7's already huge $300.
That point absolutely still stands.
It's just strange that since the 4a, the 2 smallest phones Google released were both not in the a series.
