I'd buy this if it had USB4 that - when plugged into a dock with a monitor, keyboard and mouse - put up a complete desktop OS (preferably full fat Linux).
I could then use my phone as a thin-client for work or gaming, perhaps even experimenting with proton locally.
Apple already demonstrated that mobile hardware is capable of workstation workloads so I'd see this as a natural step forward.
Beyond that, there isn't any compelling reason to upgrade my Pixel 6a.
If I broke my 6a, I'd probably upgrade to the 7a for the better screen.
