That website is an excellent resource, but they can't just expect everyone to have money for a pixel, even if privacy is a priority for me and many people, a pixel is just beyond the reach of the large majority of internet users.
Instead they need to make a curated list of less than ideal but still better than stock alternatives, or else people will just give up and get stock android instead.
Pixels are also running on poor hardware. This has always been the case, but recent releases are showing really poor cpu performance compared to competitors.
Edit: for example, the OnePlus 13 that was released 8 months before the Pixel 10 Pro is 40%+ faster, and $150-250 cheaper. The battery is also 20% lower capacity.
I don't know why you're being downvoted for stating a fact, because Pixel hasn't had competitive hardware for several iterations now.
