Look I love that GrapheneOS exists, and I have used it in the past (as have I with Lineage).

But GrapheneOS lives by the mercy of Google. Pixel devices being reference devices makes it so that it's unlikely that Google will close them down completely.

However, as can be seen with this verification move, Google is willing to go very far to accomplish its aims. They already delayed delivery of Android 16 images, causing GrapheneOS some headaches.

Who is to say more isn't to come.
