I'll not trust Lenovo (Motorola is Lenovo) preinstalling stuff on my phone. They've already ship Windows laptop with literally malware and backdoors (even in UEFI, so persistent across format) preinstalled.
I will rather install it myself.
Fully agree on that. Always better to start fully fresh, even without such problems.
That said, it's still important that it will ship pre-installed. That way app-developers who block GrapheneOS cannot excuse their actions anymore by saying that it was your decision to use another OS, and therefore not their problem.
Good point you got there.
