If you're one of the lucky few who lives where it's sold officially. Pixel phones have a notorious QC issue there's no way in hell I'm going to get one without warranty.
If I spend 1000 USD on a device, wanting for it to come with a warranty is natural, no?
I'd love to spend hundreds of dollars for a spare part and wait for a couple of months to get it shipped before and then do the repair myself if something that falls under the warranty happens.
I know how fun it was, because I did it once during the Nexus days.
