How is GrapheneOS able to get around the issue of SoC firmware blobs being slow to roll out?

they aren't, but they often push kernel/system patches faster than Google. they also have more kernel hardening in place, which makes some classes of exploits ineffective.

mainly by only supporting devices with consistent fast fw updates (which is how pixelos is also on the list)(samsung is also mostly on top of their shit but multiple security features are unavailable to third party operating systems so unviable)
