Yeah even current Pixel versions can still load the alternative OS's, which is nice. Espionage... I'm not sure it's really higher on Pixel. Pretty much all of that is already available to Google via the Android OS/services itself so I'm not sure they'd need to add anything for the phones (not that it makes it good, just didn't seem any worse than i.e. my old stock-build Chinese phones), but with the Sammy devices you also get the preinstalled shovelware plus you to agree to Samsung's conditions to use the second.
