I'm not going to say that this isn't disappointing or isn't a real problem, but to say Google sucks at making hardware is a bit unfair, as every device has design issues. If this is the major hardware issue this generation, then they're getting _much_ better. I've suffered tons of hardware issues over the years with mobile devices (the worst probably being the iPhone 7 with failing batteries and broken radios) and reliability on my Pixel phones has been pretty darn good over the years. I started with the Pixel 5, then the Pixel 6, now the 8 Pro.
