My issue remains privacy. I can’t help but feel that every swipe and key I type into an Android will be added to some profile on me.
Try GrapheneOS ( https://grapheneos.org ) Support for Pixel 3a and 3a XL will be added soon.

Couldn’t you setup a g-suite profile, and use that? I mean it would cost you money, but I’m not sure where you can find privacy and ownership for free these days.
My son wanted a Pixel to replace his iPhone but wouldn't buy one because like Apple it didn't have a headphone jack to enable him to use it in his car for music. He bought a Huawei instead. I am not yet ready to replace my iPhoneSE but I'll be going Android as well - and if Google will provide a headphone jack they are in the running, but ONLY if they provide a headphone jack.
From what I saw, the 3a has a headphone jack.

Actually one of the best things about Android is that you can drop all the Google apps. Don't use the default Google keyboard but install your own. Don't want to see ads in YouTube? Get YT Vanced. No ads in apps ever? DNS66. Want the Play Store apps without Google? Yalp.
My Nexus 6P died in the fall of 2018 and I had to upgrade so I got the Pixel 3. If i knew they were going to make a $400 Pixel 3a I would have waited. Really pissed about this release cycle and I feel like I wasted money I didn't want to spend.
So you would have gone over 6 months with no phone?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I won't buy a phone without a headphone jack.
Or at least without USB-C: at least then I can use the same headphones on my laptop, iPad Pro, and phone.
