Seems to be the cheapest according to past posts. Cheaper alternative to those who have a budget that suits this better compared to the pixel 7 and for those who aren't planning to splash $150 worth of gift card at JB.
Chalk and sage same price.
3 years of OS and 5 years monthly security updates from May 2022 release.
Hard to justify when a Pixel 7 is effectively only $75 more.
