Yeah, while I liked the pixel 4a, I just upgraded to a 7a because of this nonsense (thankfully I did not go with a 6a!) If they come for the 7a next year, I won't choose a pixel again either.
Sure, I could send it in for a battery replacement. and not have a phone for a week or two, and get my phone back or maybe not.

There's walk-in replacements in select countries:
>Starting July 21, 2025 battery replacement will be available:
>At walk-in repair centers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and India.

Yes, I'm aware. I checked when they killed the pixel4: there's no shop close to me.
I wouldn't spend half a day to get to an authorized partner and back and have it repaired, it's not worth that much.
