While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I'm not sure if Pixel are the best example, as they have demand that they don't satisfy.

For example in Spain, the Pixel 6 Pro was only sold for a few days in February, then sold out, then returned a few days ago - so it only seems to start being consistently available now, and it's a 2021 phone. Oh, and only the 128 GB model is sold here. I had to ask an Australian friend to mail a 512 GB one to me!

And at least, they do sell it here. In most countries, you can't even buy it.

Compare to iPhone where you can get every model with every storage capacity consistently, in Spain, and in the overwhelming majority of countries in the world.

I've even seriously considered switching to iPhone for this very reason, by the way.
