No. I'm on GrapheneOS and not tied to Google.
You must be thinking of the Google Play Services but these aren't required by GrapheneOS.
No, we're thinking about the fact that Android is Google owned and developed and no removal of Play Services changes that.
Every Android ROM is critically dependant on Googles work to actually develop and secure the OS.
Anyone on Graphene is tied tot Google, for it requires Google hardware.
As long as it depends on Google paying upstream development that GrapheneOS updates from, it is tied to Google.
Now if GrapheneOS was its own thing without additional AOSP code updates.
This becomes sophistry, though. "tied to" in a way that doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
