    There is a one-handed mode gesture that you can enable. It allows you to swipe straight down on the gesture bar to pull the entire top of the screen down.

      I use that but it only works from the home screen. If I use the gesture from an app it just interact with the app.

            I am using a stock Pixel 6a. From the home screen, I can swipe down anywhere to pull down the notification shade.

            The one-handed mode gesture (and function) is different though. Settings → System → Gestures → One-handed mode:
