I read about Google's decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?

I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

That is very good to hear! Hopefully Google doesn't manage to enforce some deeper software control in the meantime. They could easily engineer something that would allow them to require google stuff nested into apps at a deeper level
