Regarding the differentiated branding, I've been hoping for a GrapheneLite for many years now.
Regarding direct AOSP support, there are many devices that work fine with just the generic system image, which I'd count as direct AOSP support.
As far as I understand, broad device support is a non-goal for the GrapheneOS project. They are striving for decent security/privacy rather than wanting to attach their name and resources to mediocre standards.
I believe nothing prevents other individuals and organisations from building what you're suggesting with GrapheneOS code and ideas.
I would argue that "works fine" != "direct support" when discussing vendors and platforms. Support is a commitment signal, not just a technical capability.
