It kind of does, most of my tech friendly family members refuse to buy Chinese phones, not because they care about privacy but because they have no resale values. They only buy iphones, samsung and google.
If Google secondhand market crashes, I’m pretty sure some of them drop Google from their acceptable phone list. I’m not saying it’s direct impact of Google, but at least it’s indirect in the sense they will not buy Google next time.
So if you buy secondhand Google 8, you are part paying your sellers next Google pixel 10. It’s a bit mental gymnastics, but not baseless theory.
that’s not how second hand purchasing works
