I bought mine from Telus .. so i would think Telus gave them the money a long time ago for said phone and i'm just giving Telus back their money .. now i'm not giving money or data to anyone.

Doesn't matter if it's at the beginning or end of the pipeline. It's feeding the demand.

I have a second hand Pixel for GrapheneOS to compromise without being compromised. Was degoogled with Lineage for many years, but it was becoming too much of a problem. I'm not happy owning literally a Google phone. Felt I had no choice.

Really, regulators are needed to sort this out. Consumer choice doesn't work with dualopy.
