Call me weird, but I love the way Google handled the Pixel 9a delay

I groaned internally when Google announced the Pixel 9a delay. Issues with quality control plagued previous Pixel devices, so when Google mentioned the holdup was hardware-related, all the company’s past issues welled up from the recesses of my brain. I worried we’d be headed back to a time not that long ago when new Pixel releases were met with uncertainty. It almost felt like luck whether some users would have issues while others didn’t.
