Everyone is free not to use a smartphone at all, yet it doesn't affect whether something is anticompetitive or not

> On the other hand: doing so would effectively mean Google is now a responsible party in the security processes and posture of Graphene

Hey, wait.. I don't see why that'd have to be the case. Google could make a set of security standards and then include relevant OSes in Play Integrity.. However, these standards could then be checked for being anticompetitive, and a requirement that Google spyware needs to be preinstalled with elevated privileges would certainly be anticompetitive.

> but I have seen no evidence of this, at least when it comes to their treatment of third party android operating systems and third party app stores.

Well, I and GrapheneOS claim that Play Integrity not including GrapheneOS is the evidence here :)
