> Most people I talk to dislike the camera hump on the back, but Google insists on it

No way, if you go caseless, it's so much better than the asymmetric camera bump. If you use a case, it doesn't matter either way.

Unless you have an iPhone 13/14 Pro where the case still juts out at the camera bump. Drives me nuts.

Perhaps, but my point is that the bump is too prominent. It would be nice if it could be more flat.

I don't mind, every phone has that now anyway. The big deal is that it isn't so asymmetrical, which I quite like visually and has practical benefits too (you can use it lying on a table).

I was under the impression that the Pixel 6-7 have a far more visible and perceptible bump than other devices.

It's needed to make good/competitive cameras nowadays.
