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.

They never ack'd the reason why they did it. My wife's phone was basically bricked, and the google offer for "free fix" was functionally worthless because the contracted companies wouldn't repair it. See many articles online (including ars technica editor who personally was screwed).
