There are many silly bugs and inconveniences not getting fixed. In Pixel's Android you cannot swap the three navigation buttons, whereas in all other brands it's easy to do. I prefer to have the "back" button to the right, and yet Pixel doesn't allow me to set up it that way. It's on the left, the way the developer who wrote that likes.

Also, in the Google Message app used for sending text messages, when you have 2 SIMs from the same carrier in your phone, you can't tell through which one you got the SMS (if this is a message to which you can't reply, e.g., an advertisement). You get the carrier name instead of the SIM card name which you set up in the settings. This is not specific to Pixels.

RCS is a joke. Either "your device doesn't support" it, or "your carrier doesn't support" it, or there are other issues. Nobody cares about their RCS, the entire planet uses WhatsApp, or iMessage, because they just work, unlike RCS.

Silly issues. That's Google in all their glory. They can do magic that serves billions of people, but they are unable to polish the edges.
