What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

While you have a point, I think the pixel stands out because of the giant visor it has now. It stands out more than iPhones today.
Google is definitely embracing that look, but if we're cynical about it, that's also following in Apple's playbook. Apple basically made the home button on their older iPhones their design queue for years. And then they switched to the notch, and it was again their design signature. And recently they switched to the pill shaped camera cutout, and again, it's a design feature.
