Can someone explain why this is such a big deal to people? Everyone on the Pixel subreddit was up in arms about the sensor not being GN2.

But I have no idea why it matters so much, so if someone could explain, that would be great.
Hopefully getting mine on Thursday, can't hardly wait!
- I wasn't going to get one but at&t is taking my 6 pro and giving me an 8 pro. No idea what their scam is with that.
Do we know what's the main difference between GNV and GN1 / GN2?
