The big problem is the 64GB SSD. The difference in retail cost with a 256GB is about $50, in bulk it'd probably be closer to $20-25. I really don't understand Google's logic here. I guess they see people buying the Pixel for non-Googley things to be a problem?
I remember reading an article stating that the vast majority of Pixels go to Google's internal developers, with some sold to the small number of enthusiasts who just really want one. I assume that Google developers are not relying on a lot of storage space on these machines, and since it's not really intended to be a consumer machine there's no point in offering more SKUs with different storage.

AFAIK the Pixel is one of the best around this class, but it's a bit more expensive at 1000 USD.
