Because the 9A a) costs money, which I currently don’t want to spend (especially not on Google), and b) is significantly larger than the 4A, which I specifically bought for it’s small form factor.

And I seriously doubt the only way to keep my phone from exploding is to push a patch that makes it so the device itself seemingly has problems figuring it the charge level of the battery it tries to keep from exploding.

I cannot stress enough how god awful this “patch” was. They completely phoned it in, doing just the bare minimum to ward off class action lawsuits or consumer protection agencies.

I will buy a new phone quite soon since CalyxOS also stopped updating it now. But the Pixel A series obviously comes with a major liability now.
