I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a after Google deleted the battery life[0], and while the initial move was frustrating with things not working, I've adapted and have a nice feeling of security while using my device again. It feels like it's mine, and I don't have to worry about who will spy on me or rug-pull me next.

Such a bizarre phenomenon to me that people are still griping about a software update that stops a 4-year-old battery from detonating when the same company will also fix the phone for free or just hand you $50 if you prefer that.

The fixing offer is only valid in some locations, would require you to be without your phone for some time, and since Android still doesn't have anything that would be considered working backup and restore, I can't imagine many people being comfortable mailing their phone out for a replacement.

The $50 "cash" offer came with so many downsides that just ignoring it would be the smarter choice for anyone who values their time (someone already provided a link).
