GrapheneOS is critical of this initiative [here](https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116239523775374959) and I think their criticism has merit. This simply moves the gatekeeper from Google to a handful of OEM's who won't let you use anything other than their blessed OS's.

Has the GrapheneOS team ever, once, been supportive of ANY other custom ROM initiative? I ask this as someone with both a GOS Pixel10 and a FairPhone 6 running /e/ on my desk this week. For as good as their security approach is, their constant shit talking of others also making efforts to free us from big tech helps no-one. Oh the irony of using the phrase "blessed OS's" coming from the GOS camp.

Agree. This type of systems are not even necessary.

I'd say if you have more alternative gatekeepers, that means you have more options and that gives the user more power (to choose).
