I feel like GrapheneOS shot itself in the foot, being exclusive to Pixel phones. Pixel phones were great, in the past, but now they're mediocre offerings for their price range and the removal of the 3.5mm jack pushed many of the more techy users away — GrapheneOS's target audience.

Not sure if I'd use GrapheneOS even if it was available on other devices though. Really not a fan of the hostile attitude towards rooting when it's needed for basic functionality like backups — actual, reliable backups for every app, unlike those provided by the built-in solution.

Interesting that someone would say this. I’ve had several Nexus and Pixel phones in the past (last one was a Pixel 2) and they were all pretty bad in terms of hardware and the support from google was non existent. I only bought for them for the software… which wasn’t great either. They have always been mediocre phones, to put it mildly.
