Well, I’m not saying your shouldn’t use another android distribution. Neither are other GrapheneOS users, those who aren’t in a cult at least, which ironically the users are sometimes but the devs not really.
I think where the confusion lies, is that GrapheneOS is simply the strongest positioned and best phone OS for what it is trying to achieve. If you want a phone that nobody can crack into, that gives you the highest level of privacy possible, you will choose GrapheneOS.
But that’s for the same kind of people that would run an 8 year old laptop with Coreboot and QubesOS. Not everybody wants that kind of control.
For people that did not require the best, DivestOS was a good choice, since they did a lot of the things GrapheneOS did and more, where I’m making the case that neither was really better for their use case than the other, since DivestOS had the goal of broader device support.
All in all, I think GrapheneOS gets a bad rep. There is a reason why state officials use it. Why It’s the most praised in the security business. They can’t just adjust to your needs, that’s not what their project is for. It’s for the absolute best in security and privacy. You can just get another distro so stop being do mad.
And obviously, when they can not continue on Pixel phones, they will choose another.
