This is unexpected, given that Sony had a really great support for allowing bootloader unlock and support for AOSP. Till today you could flash Jolla's SailfishOS on their devices.

Probably has more to do with the fact that GrapheneOS doesn't implement age verification thinking about it, I'm still gonna hold a grudge about SecuROM and XCP though

Pretty sure that's still possible. I mean this whole post is about someone flashing an alternative ROM to their Sony device.
