They didn't walk it back. Pixel 1 still has unlimited storage.
You're insufferable. Whatever fits your agenda.
irony
It's not insufferable to call it insufferable behavior. That's not irony.
Ya because saying Google walked back on a promise when they didn't. Whatever lies to fit your agenda. Pixel 1 still gets unlimited backups.

so they are robbing everyone else they previously offered it to. they are walking it back.
you are splitting hairs
it's a rug pull
And for some time, other devices did as well. And then they changed it. Would some other term than "walking back" describe "they offered a good deal to customers, and then changed it to a less good deal" better for you?
Do you like work for Google or something? Probably not. The handful of people I've met who work there aren't nearly this zealous about defending it.
Are you hanging your entire argument on the word "lifetime"?
From their announcement
From this you can infer photos prior to June 21 2021 did not count against the storage. And now they do. Making the product worse for users.
