GrapheneOS can be used by normies who want to use all their normie apps and they will still be exponentially safer in doing so compared to running their apps on a device by a dubious OEM who isn't patching on time.
What is happening here is a major reason why many Android devices lose the security race to iPhones. The amount of viable options of commercial off the shelf devices you can find at a store for people with high risk is grim. You would be better running an iPhone 17 if you are not going to be using GrapheneOS. I quite literally cannot recommend anything else to normies but these.
