They bumped support to 5 years, interesting. Short support duration is a common complaint from Android users.

In the fine print (footnote #28) it says 3 years of feature updates.

[EDIT] On https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705 it says, "Guaranteed Android version updates until at least: October 2024" and "Guaranteed security updates until at least: October 2026" for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

Security updates are 5 years. At least that's what the launch video said.

Its historically because qualcomm cuts support so you have to buy new phone, new chips.
