It makes sense to me that the first phone to get updated hardware that GOS requires, would be the flagship. I suspect cheaper phones will get the same - perhaps not the cheapest ones, but probably the G series at least.
Well, about 5 or 6 more years at most then. Google reduced the Pixel's security so Graphene devs deemed the 11 not good enough.
And if you don't care about security as much, there are multiple other ROMs to consider that you could run on MUCH cheaper phones, don't need a flagship at all, just something with an open bootloader and a community.
