Moreover GrapheneOS requires Google Play Services to use most apps, so you’re not only using a Google device but also Google Play services! There are much better truly deGoogled alternatives around
That’s a lie, you can totally avoid Play Services if you truly want to with GrapheneOS, as it literally isn’t installed by default. If you only use Fdroid apps and have no need for push notifs, then you can truly use GOS with no Google.
But the average person probably needs those things mentioned, so you can download a sandboxed version of Play Store and Services instead.
This is patently false. I run GrapheneOS with no Google play services installed. The only issue I have is no paid app updates and some apps won’t send notifications since they ran through Google. I use my phone though mostly as a phone. I have almost no social media and I do not use banking apps on my phone. I choose to use website versions of anything on my phone so long as I can.
Not to mention, the replacement OSes like /e/os and the others don’t have the hardening of GrapheneOS. Cellibrite recently was leaked they still can’t crack open GrapheneOS.
