Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Hell yes.

It's fucking open source, this is no different from games with intrusive anti-cheat refusing to run on Linux, except in this case it's not even a different OS.

It's monopolistic and anti-user.

Ironically, if Graphene would succeed, it would lead to a system that's every bit as locked down as a manufacturer's Android. GrapheneOS would also not allow you to have root etc.

IMO Graphene wants a place at the big player table. They're not in it for user freedoms.
