Something I’ve been thinking about: independent security projects often face pressure once corporate partnerships or funding enter the picture.

Does GrapheneOS have any structural safeguards to ensure development priorities remain community-driven if hardware vendors become more involved?

I’m not assuming there’s a problem — just interested in how projects like this avoid the “venture capital influence” problem that has affected other open source initiatives.

While I'm happy that it's Motorola, i just wish someone like Fairphone also bites the bullet of investing in a proper encryption chip that's acceptable to Grapheneos. I'd like to see more or a trifecta (duofecta?) of trustworthy OS and sustainable/committed manufacturer.

This is how a functioning capitalist system should work. Companies competing against each other for the benefit of the consumer.

No, that's socialism - benefit for the community. Under capitalism, it's a principle of putting profit before people, rather than the inverse.
