Even in the EU spyware use is prevalent (and i 'd guess everywhere else in the world). There have been many scandals of government authorized commercial spyware been deployed against journalists. Is it really that niche a mobile OS that tries to not be exploitable by them?

    GrapheneOS have mentioned wanting to expand the logging/intrusion detection capabilities of their Auditor app but contend with the need to include it as a system app which is against their philosophy (PoLP). It is not accurate to say they don't want to do anything about spyware.

    They are also completely against Play Integrity as implemented on principle.

    Graphene puts a HEAVY emphasis on security.

    Also your argument about a user inspecting and editing application files feels like a strawman argument. For example many spyware use malicious links to infect the devices, not malicious apps.
