It would be a complete waste of time for devs to focus on making the AOSP apps pretty. I don't really get the hate, AOSP apps are completely fine and it's not like you have to look at it all the time

AOSP apps look and work terrible in my opinion. The music player hasn't changed since what, Android 2?
There's a reason ROMs like LineageOS develop their own alternatives. Most ROMs seem to use those open source alternatives rather than the apps Google abandoned with AOSP.
I was talking about the AOSP apps GOS ships, which is handful and doesn't include a music player. Apart from maybe the gallery app, I don't see any other as completely unusable. They already maintain Camera, PDF viewer, Vanadium, App store and Auditor
Each of the AOSP apps still present in GrapheneOS going to be replaced or overhauled. They're only there as basic bundled functionality. There's no point in improving some of those apps because there are either better open source apps to use as a starting point or we can make our own instead. It would be nice to have modern Compose apps instead of a slightly improved legacy code with modern features bolted onto it.
Anyone who doesn't like how they look has an absolute right to fix it and no right at all to complain. ;-)
They have every right to complain. They don't have any right to expect their complaints to be acted upon.
You can't fix GrapheneOS. It's not LineageOS.
I'm not sure what you mean. They do have a secret key used for hardware attestation, but to my knowledge it's not supported anywhere and your own build would pass attestation just as well. For apps outside the core you wouldn't even have to do that much - just fork them and install your own.
