This just relegates the pixel to the same status as other devices such as Motorola or OnePlus.
Custom operating systems will still absolutely work on them, but it will take longer to get the updates because of the source code not being released like it was.
If you imagine it like a plane, they got bumped down from first class to coach, but they did not get kicked off the plane entirely.
Then there will be no point in making Pixel custom roms, as the main selling point (quick Android updates) will be null.
I don't see that as the main selling point. I see not having Google as the main selling point, and it's not like the updates will be that much slower. It might take them like a month instead of a week. That's not a bad problem.
The developers (at least security-oriented ones like Graphene) absolutely do care about quick security updates.
