Even if you do prefer a passcode to the facial recognition tech, Android Q is shifting the entire Google software ecosystem away from buttons and toward swipes and other on-screen gestures. Note: You can actually reactivate the back button in the settings. Android users have loved this button for a decade now. It was originally a hard, physical button on phones and has become a virtual button on the screen over the years. But it always allowed you to tap the bottom left corner of the screen to go back on a web page, or back out of an app.
This was immensely helpful, for instance, for exiting out of those links you open in email, which take you to an in-app browser. To go back using the Pixel 4 default UI, you need to swipe perpendicularly across the screen. But guess what? If you refuse to use the new swipe gesture, have fun using the in-app interface buttons in the upper left corner of the phone—literally the farthest possible spot for your thumb to reach.

I can imagine how the Pixel 4 emerged out of this thinking. In theory, a phone designed to enhance our well-being needs to literally see us and sense us. It needs to scan the environment and know its context. Perhaps, one day, Google will realize this vision.
