Yea that warranty BS always irks me.
First, no it doesn't void warranty.
Second, so what if it did? How many phones has anyone sent back for warranty? I've had (let me count) about 13 individual phones since 2009. Many being duplicates of my daily driver, almost all bought second hand, so I paid no more than $120 for a phone, and as little as $50.
The number I've sent in for warranty:0. The number I've broken: probably 3 (I remember breaking one specifically, and I know I've borked the flash on a couple, but those were old and no longer of any value).
I bet most people have spent as much on a couple phones as I've spent on all my phones. And I always have a hot spare waiting at home, fully configured, all I have to do is swap the sim and I'm up and running. And OS upgrades never take out my production phone, my spare gets it first, I verify everything works, at my leisure, then switch.
Buying two Pixel 5's I'll still be well under the price of the newest Pixel. I'm a serious power user - I move gobs of files with my phone, it's always on, I'm remoting into stuff all the time (ssh and RDP), have a bunch of automation going on, I could use the most powerful available today, unlike most people who just use SMS, facecrack, and WhatsApp.
