The author is dumping his Pixel 3 and seems to be very concerned about wasting hardware.
If only he knew about CalyxOS:
> If you have a Pixel 3 or newer, you can install CalyxOS on your own device.

The author specifically says they want their phone to be a reliable appliance. I do not think they have the appetite for reflashing the ROM, nor should a consumer be required to do so.

This is from the website, this is not something an average person should attempt:
Open a terminal on your host computer, change to the directory where you saved device-flasher, and then run:
shasum -a 256 device-flasher.darwin
And ensure the result says 04b4cf9912d853e0f108b42a756fd74db7a11cc6c951e05820e96d28ce56e543.
I've not run Calyx myself, but those are issues I've personally experienced with other ROMs. If the author just wants a phone that works, this isn't the best option. I find the "is forcing me to.." a bit hyperbolic, but their point stands.
