I am using a Google Pixel 6a with stock Android.

I bought the smartphone in short notice only because I was sick of OnePlus Nord 2 5G adjusting the settings for me. With a Google Pixel device, I am in charge for real! ๐Ÿ˜Œ I am done with Chinese shit ๐Ÿ˜† Too much control.

Then why not root OnePlus Nord 2 and install a custom ROM? Na, I am too much of a coward to do that. Am afraid of bricking the phone like what I did with my Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. After that, I told myself, no more custom ROMs.

Maybe I've gotten lucky, but I've messed up flashing many things over the years and never permanently bricked anything. Or maybe it's less of a risk on modern devices?

Yeah, maybe you are lucky ๐Ÿ™‚ I have no clue if modern smartphone are harder to brick, though.
