I never had the pass, so I might be wrong, but IIRC a key point was that for a fixed monthly rate, purchasers of the pass were guaranteed upgrades every two years. That means that Google offered to cap the cost of their phones.

They got rid of this plan, so I suspect the next pixels will be released at higher price points.
