Ya, GrapheneOS has some nice features, and is great for some users, but it's not a universal solution for every Android user. It's only compatible with Pixels with unlocked bootloaders, which not every has or is interested in buying, and there are some usability limitations with some apps, and certain functionality. If I had a Pixel, I'd probably flash GOS as I did back in 2012-2013, but I've been a Samsung users for the past decade and am really happy with the functionality and experience I've gotten from their devices, privacy compromises not withstanding. This is why I like variety. It's the basis of a healthy ecosystem, and provides a range of experiences to a range of users.
