For price-conscious potential buyers of the Pixel, the current used-phone market for non-Apple and non-Samsung phones are small enough that depreciation for such phones is rapid. Since Google is marketing the Pixel line as an iPhone competitor, it may indeed have sufficient demand that it depreciates closer to Apple and Samsung than to other Android phones. However, that remains to be seen. It seems to me that limiting oneself to year-old iPhones, just after a new model is released and changing models every year strikes a nice balance between depreciation rate and usability/features.
