This is especially rich coming from google's, who's 'safetynet' for android results in a significant reduction in security (contrary to its stated purpose): it locks out 3rd-party up-to-date and secure ROMs while allowing horrificly insecure manufacturer-provided ROMs to still pass, because to disable those would cause a massive user outcry.

That's not the case with GrapheneOS:

SafetyNet is deprecated anyway:

I think you’ve misunderstood both posts.

SafetyNet is deprecated, but it’s just been rolled into Play Integrity which does all the same things. All the same concerns still apply to Play Integrity.

GrapheneOS is asking developers not to use SafetyNet/Play Integrity (because they presumably block GrapheneOS), but instead to use the native hardware attestation API so they can specifically allow GrapheneOS keys. If a developer doesn’t allow their keys, they’ll be blocked.
