I wonder how low Google will sink next time.
Respect for the GrapheneOS for pushing through regardless, even if they have to reverse engineer stuff. Can't wait to buy their phone.

Good phrasing. It's certainly not _your_ phone, you're just an untrusted user who is extended the privilege of using it.
It absolutely is. You can fork GrapheneOS, modify it, and sign the images with your own key; all to your heart's content.
Exposing root to userspace does not make you the owner of it, and serves to erode the guarantee that the OS is enforcing the rules you set. The way it is used is a hacky shortcut to achieving functionality that should be written into the OS itself so that the security model can be maintained.
Isn't GrapheneOS rootable?

Oh, the possibilities are endless and they're just getting started. Besides stopping releases of AOSP completely they could also mandate that any "certified" Android device should not allow bootloader unlocking (albeit OEMs will disallow that anyway)..
