Pixel A's are quite affordable. GrapheneOS is open source so if there was a need, people could get it to run on insecure devices that aren't Pixels. Expecting that to be done by GrapheneOS developers who care about security just seems weird.
> Pixel A's are quite affordable
There's first-world, upper-middle-class affordable (~$500) and then there's global affordable (<$250).
I usually buy refurbs similarly like I buy 2 year old cars.
Currently I can get brand new Pixel 8a on ebay for £250 or similar, and refurbs from "flawless" to mint" conditions for half of it.
Still good enough.
I got a Pixel 7 secondhand (but good condition) for the equivalent of about $270. It would have been less but I needed 256 gb of storage.
