You underestimate how much money & effort it takes to make an operating system.

Wouldn't people just fork AOSP? Seems like GrapheneOS has a running start?

  • Forking a project isn't really the same as "ending" it, as much as it is becoming it. Even ignoring that, you can't be a meaningful competitor unless you actually ship on a phone, and support the features that the average consumer is looking for. Amazon even tried and failed spectacularly.

No - I'm not saying it will be soon, or fast. I am saying only it will now come, just as Linux did.
