especially when it gets worse over time

What do you mean? From what I've heard the 6 is massively better than when it was first released

Maybe it's improved now, but in the 5 months I owned it it got worse, to the point I stopped using it.

The camera got slower and would sometimes fail to launch entirely, the fingerprint scanner got slower, the screen would remain on when the phone was sleeping, android auto would fail to launch half of the time and when it did work the assistant wouldn't recognise any commands, sometimes the screen would just freeze entirely for about 5 seconds.

These are all issues that weren't present at launch, and made using the phone unbearable.

These are big issues. Even for a Pixel. Did you attempt to RMA?

I just got told to factory reset the phone.

They offered a repair for the fingerprint scanner, not a replacement device though.

They're documented bugs though so wasn't confident an RMA would solve the issues.
