Yeah it would be nice to break away from the google ecosystem and install GrapheneOS on whatever device I like-
GrapheneOS has official production support for the following devices:
Pixel 9a (tegu)
Pixel 9 Pro Fold (comet)
Pixel 9 Pro XL (komodo)
Pixel 9 Pro (caiman)
Pixel 9 (tokay)
Pixel 8a (akita)
Pixel 8 Pro (husky)
Pixel 8 (shiba)
Pixel Fold (felix)
Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)
Pixel 7a (lynx)
Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah)
Pixel 7 (panther)
Pixel 6a (bluejay)
Pixel 6 Pro (raven)
Pixel 6 (oriole)
The GrapheneOS project is working to correct the problem. For more information see this comment written 18 days ago:

Useful info. Thanks for sharing!
It's been discussed previously, but pixel devices are chosen for hardware security feature sets. Other devices are either not compatible/open enough to use or a security downgrade.
