I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

  1. It's a budget variant,
  2. The Pixel series are midrange, not high-end or flagship

This doesn't seem like that big a deal, especially as it's a software update. Easily fixable with a firmware update like GrapheneOS

    Pixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that's not flagship territory, I don't know what is.

    True, but that's just the price they charge. The actual value of CPU performance, build quality and part quality indicates a midrange device.

    In regards to the Pixel Fold (the $1500 devices), well, those in the market for a foldable already prefer to sacrifice device longevity and some practicality for the double screen, and usually aesthetics and gimmicks cost more than bare practicality. The foldables are in a different league, but still are outclassed by others in their price range.
