AFAIK Graphene is Pixel-only (and only those still currently supported by GOOG), and I'm given to understand eOS is insecure AF. Add in locked-down bootloaders having become so common, there needs to be a better answer.

This is not entirely accurate. People involved with Graphene have been caught spreading misinformation about /e/ and Calyx many times. The head dev himself is severely paranoid, to the point he makes wild accusations against anyone who doesn't agree with him.

e os is not less secure than any other Android. Maybe Graphene is better in that regard but that's literally the point of it. e should be fine for all normal Android usage.

"Better answer" means "enforce antitrust and consumer protection law to punish corporations for attempting to usurp device owners' property rights."

I'm open to the better answer - what is it?
