If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we're looking at truly dark days ahead.

The issue is the phone is (almost always) always on and you cannot inspect things like you could with a PC. You can't list processes and read through them, there's no syslog or kernel log on most phones that you're allowed to view, it's a much bigger pain to reinstall than a PC is, there are a lot of things that make it an easier target. I would have a much much easier time figuring out my PC is compromised than figuring out my phone is compromised
