I don't have any use for a "nice processor". I have a basic one and I don't have any problems with it.
As for cameras, I think it's pretty clear at this point that it's all about the software. The Pixel was winning blind smartphone camera tests with >10 y/o sensors.
The sensor size also plays a part, the pro has a pretty large sensor for a phone.
We're talking about the pixel 7a here, the budget model, not a "pro" anything. It doesn't have a large sensor.

Google literally made their own processor for those results though. The tensor chips might not be as high end, but it's not a budget phone chip.
Samsung and Apple make their own processors too...?
sam sung did, they abandoned for thier higher end models, i think thier "budgety phones" still use thier processor.
I'm not saying they couldn't get results with another processor, but that it still wouldn't be a "cheap" processor found in a budget device
The Pixel 7a is a budget device.
In a sense, but it's more of a mid-budget phone. I'm thinking like $200 phones. Maybe the landscape is different than what I'm considering nowadays.
Edit: I might not be giving Motorola enough credit either lol
In a world chock-full of $1200+ phones, yeah, I'd say $500 is firmly in "budget" territory.
Oh me too. If you missed the edit, I'm starting think I just don't have a great image of Motorola lol
