They might not want more users, but they definitely need more users in my opinion (or maybe it's me who wants this so badly :))

>more than just getting bespoke deals to be supported on $1500+ small marketshare phones.

Oh yeah. We need a wider scale of much cheaper phones as well, for starters. The fundamentals are down - GrapheneOS is SOLID. For the next level, it needs to be a product.

>The first thing the majority of people care about is what the OS will look like on their phone if they install it.

I think this misses the point, because the majority of the people DGAF what's on their phone, as long as it works seamlessly as a phone, by which I mean a tiny computer with fancy software. These are the people GrapheneOS needs to reach in order to stay alive on the longer term, and to not be shut out of the ecosystem over time. The people who are looking for a secure alternative Android are reached well enough.
