Yes, but it doesn't really make that clear. I first thought that it was a replacement OS for Google Pixel phone which replicates the functionality of the original OS but adds enhancements and features.

That's the brand confusion born of appropriating Google's Pixel mark and the reason why trademark protection exists.

If you make a hamburger seasoning blend that approximates the taste of McDonald's and call it "McDonald's burger flavor", you're going to have a bad time with the legal system. I don't expect this to fly either.

Fair. I got to the "experience similar to Google Pixel phones" bit and thought well I've already got a pixel so I don't need this, but I see your point about the extras.
