See, that’s the thing, Google maintains AOSP. Graphene is still using their code, they are just forking and hardening it for their use. They didn’t magically create their own version of Android out of nothing and therefore are also subject to rules that Google lays down. I got tired of having to flash custom software so that the device I paid a significant amount for, runs the way it should have out of the box. Every Android device is like this, ironically, even the devices from the company maintaining the code. Eventually I just said fuck it and joined #teamapple. Sure there are drawbacks, but the benefits of being able to just use my device without constantly playing cat and mouse with Google/safetynet or having to flash something else custom because the OEM version is horrible or the custom version I was using is no longer being maintained, are immeasurable. For me, I’ll just stick to one ecosystem because Apple does it better than anyone else.
