I don't trust google to 'complete' the entire product experience. Samsung is among the worst, Apple is the best and they are not perfect.
A 'foldable screen' implies a lot of changes in usability and behaviour, most of these companies don't bother with the detail and therefore less than desired experiences.
At least up to Pixel 4 even the alarm clock, merging calls, a bunch of small things felt very off. Apps were not consistent.
That said, screen real estate is nice, if that's your thing and you are not price sensitive, it might work.
Personally, I want a small, thin form factor with only a few apps max and I want it to be robust, always work, with extremely long battery life and for Google/Apple to not hoard all of my personal data.

The old Pixels are notoriously well-supported by alternative ROMs, and run the most well-hardened Android distributions on the planet. If you want a CalyxOS or GrapheneOS device, Google is practically your only option.
