Let me rephrase your comment: "Eastern European opinion on Russia doesn't matter because they've suffered and continue to suffer from Russian imperialism".
It makes perfect sense. Reviewers want something to differentiate it from the iPhone and to rave about, so they choose the headphone jack.
Whereas users, and Google absolutely has the data for this, are probably mostly using bluetooh ear pods or headphones and so Google knows real users don't care.

Well... what it really means is most users don't care but that also means they probably don't care (at least not directly) if there is a headphone jack. Those who are using headphone jacks regularly absolutely do care though.
I'm not suggesting they haven't done a lot of market research here, I am sure they have. What I will say is that they should be careful of frog boiling themselves out of a market. Having a headphone jack is one of those things that differentiated the Pixel from an iPhone. Sure most users who prefer a Pixel to an iPhone probably won't jump over this one specific thing.... but the less differentiated they become over time the less sticky customers looking for something different to iPhones will be for them, and this won't easily show up in market research because they are asking things like "If we remove feature X would you buy a different phone? What if we remove Y?" but may not be asking "What if we remove X and we remove Y?"
The times I use the 3,5mm jack on my phone are few and far between.
However if I didn't have that option at those times I wouldn't have had anything else to hand (eg no Bluetooth headset nearby or battery dead) so those few times are really important to me.
This is something you don't really get from just looking at data.
This issue has been going on well before C19. The BBC have abused their power and it is absolutely ridiculous that people have to pay license fees to them when media has changed so much.
A better comparison might be between the Guardian and the Telegraph. The Daily Mail has a certain reputation...
In any case, pretty much all the papers have lambasted Johnson on this. When the Tory press turn on a Tory PM, it's a good sign that their days are numbered...
Europe is a Ponzi scheme where by immigrants are pulled in en mass ever decade to provide fresh liquidity while the generational members of the country enjoy themselves and add zero value.
Unfortunately new immigrants have cottoned onto this and don't play the game that has been setup for them. They run their own separate economies and send most of their untaxed money back home.
