Pixel 7a:

best camera on the market;
flagship chip;
5 years of monthly software update;
reasonable storage (128g);
supported by almost all custom roms: lineage, divest, graphene, calyx, iode, /e/, etc.;
OEM authentic parts and repair guide distributed by a well-respected company: ifixit;
less than $375

iPhone 15 pro 128g sales for $1000, at 75%, is exactly twice the price of Pixel 7a 128g.

Comparing a companies budget phone to another companies newer halo phone is just an unreasonable comparision. The iPhone 15 pro also has many features that the pixel doesn't.

For 429 dollars you could get an Apple refurbished iphone 12 mini (so same warranties and stuff as a new phone), which has a more powerful cpu, higher storage options if wanted, a brighter display, face id, etc. Obviously, you also lose features. But the reality is, its not some simple one side is good value and the other is overpriced garbage.

oem authorized repair also applies to apple, and with almost all the same caveats

It isn't if the halo phone sucks. Like, if the Pixel 7A - Google's budget phone, crushes the latest iPhone, imagine what the flagship Google Pixel 8 Pro does to it...

But it doesn't...

Neither phones "crush" the iPhone 15 pro.
