Probably they will not support it for budget phones

Graphene might be marketed towards enterprises first. Look at [that leaked slide](https://piunikaweb.com/2026/02/27/leak-confirms-grapheneos-motorola-partnership-for-non-pixel-hardware/) again: it mentions "**bloatware-free** interface with Business Edition." The bigger leak is Motorola acknowledging they ship bloatware, IMO

Easy. By not making it a budget phone.

Motorola doesn’t have to sell apps. Apps sell themselves. And an App Store that isn’t riddled with crap is appealing to everyone.

I mean, they could still include those on the base model of the phone, but just officially support flashing Graphene for those who want to do it. I am reasonably certain the target markets for pre-installed apps/ads and people who would be interested in flashing Graphene are completely separate groups. Kind of like how a stock Pixel is basically Google/Gemini Spyware, but Thayer doesn't matter to someone who buys one to install Graphene.
