It's more frustrating because my partner's pixel 4A cannot use google pay or the bank apps because it is an invalid os - I am guessing due to lack of updates? So, perfectly fine hardware, but crippled in functionality due to the lack of software updates.

My partner has a 4a and no such issues. Are you talking about stock Android or something else,

Yeah - Stock Android! We are not in the states, but might have to investigate further if it works for others.
