The issue is Profile or Anniversary like extra info when deleted will get the contacts visible in your contacts app
I did it three times. Hope that makes you feel better ha!That's right and I have understood the origin of the problem only after flashing Android 8.1 factory image twice on my Pixel 2 XL, damn it!
I just chatted with Google support about it. They had me remove my Google account on the phone and readd it and they all synced in. Not sure if they did anything in their side.

i found that if I removed the profile url a contact would sync to the phone. see atttachment
anyone else experiencing this issue? I am only showing 370/408 contacts. I tried to troubleshoot this with google and they couldn't figure it out. They reassured me that it would eventually sync.
Don't forget to thank this guy, people. Great catch for a junior member.
