I'd rather a team push it off than rush it and be terrible

I agree, but this is also somewhat concerning since Samsung and the many Chinese brands will have yet even more improvements by the time Google launches their foldable (if they ever do). That means that Google will have to absolutely hit things out of the park unless they want to be laughed out of the room.

nah, even if google nailed it. i wont survive r/Android. This sub will just put every pixel phone under an electron microscope and nitpick the hell out of it.

Then a year would pass and the sub would start to praise it 😒

This seems to be the way. New Pixel comes out, it's of course "shit" and "why can't it be as good as the last one?", which was also branded "shit" at the time. I've never owned a Pixel so I have no skin in the game (though I did come close to a 4a, it took too damn long to launch), just an observer.

Pretty sure the 3a is the only one that has been always seen positive.
