Pixel 6a will give you C-Band on all three carriers (yes, even T-Mobile eventually will use it), and full 5G access on all three national carriers.
If it weren't for 5G, I'd take the Pixel 4 any day. But unless you're really rural, go with the Pixel 6a.
Even security updates are not guaranteed after next month.

Disabling 5G causes a radio reset, that forces the network to assign the phone a new call channel. Often times, this is less congested. That's why Patel experienced what he did. You could have taken a 5G phone, put it in airplane mode, and turned it off, and gotten the same speed boost (or better).
Of course thousands will read what he said, versus the 50 that read this post. Let false stigma reign.

Back to Samsung for me.

Pixel 3 had less reliable storage chips. It wasn't the updates that killed them, it was the storage chips wearing out.
This was fixed in Pixel 4 and newer. It was fixed in 3a, but 3a has really slow storage as a result of early efforts to remedy the problem.

Well documented phenomenon: https://ieeexplore.ieee
"Abstract: Despite widespread LTE deployment, coverage does not necessarily translate to usable service. Even in well-provisioned urban networks, unusually high usage (such as during a public event or after a natural disaster) can lead to congestion that makes the LTE service difficult, if not impossible, to use, even if the user is solidly within the coverage area."
You probably have, and just didn't realize it.
Only thing that has changed recently is the networks are oversold post pandemic.
Bay Area also is not representational, having way more macro sites than just about anywhere else in America.

Okay? I travel all over the West Coast and can easily spot LTE congestion. Post on any carrier subreddit and ask if it is a real thing.
It is.
I'm tempted on these older Pixel deals, to possibly explore GrapheneOS.
