There is a lot of government / intelligence agency interest in making sure devices can be hacked into... see the whole FBI vs. Apple thing from some time back.
Most device manufacturers are trying to keep costs down... adding security features adds R&D money they have to spend and pass on to the devices as sold.
Most people don't know or care their devices are easily hackable... until it affects them personally.
Some people have to use GOS because enemy nations are targeting them and their devices in particular for hacking into, and normal devices are easy to break into... see Pegasus.
I agree that GrapheneOS is useful for some and vital for many people in the world.
What I'm asking (and demanding) is for GrapheneOS to not put all their eggs in one basket, and to develop alternatives. I don't think GOS investing in phone manufacturing with Motorola will last forever, just as Google didn't. Having non-corporate options is imperative as Big Tech ramps up more and more surveillance, walled off gardens, and enshittification
Of course.
