As soon as a new update is pushed out, the older OS versions are sabotaged in order to make the new one a hit. Most of the smartphone makers use this to make their older phones unstable and slow so that people have to buy the latest phones.
The main reason for the bugs in Pixel phones after the Android Pie update is because its new and in an early stage. It is also speculated that Google is working more on the upcoming Android Q OS, and it is a mean to prepare its Pixel phones for it.
