My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:
Short Press: Sleep/Wake
Long Press: Assistant
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.
I can’t remember the button combo, but there’s a way to use the power and volume buttons to switch between silent and back. I used to hit it all the time by accident.
The same one they mentioned, if the power button is set to assistant then it brings up the power menu and if the power button is set to the power menu then it sets the phone to silent/vibrate, but doesn’t switch it back.
