I thought so as well but there are quite a few reddit threads and support queries related to scratched displays. Maybe there's a few bad batches of gorilla glass floating around on the pixel 7.
Just sharing my experience. I've gone back and forth between galaxy phones and pixels since the galaxy s6 and I've never gouged a phone screen before this one.
Love my 7 Pro but the screen scratches WAY too easily!
It's hardly a year old and the screen is covered in scratches and even has a few deep gouges. This is from normal use, no keys/change in the pocket. From what I understand it's related to a choice for softer glass to avoid shattering.
It's wild! Never on a previous phone have I ever had a gouge.
