We'll have to see how they implement it first. If it's just through Play Protect, I'm fine as I'm already not using that. If not, guess I'll have to make-do with a Linux phone.

Well yeah, because grapheneos is specifically made for security, not customiseability. Rooting your phone makes it a lot less secure, so it doesn't seem strange to me that grapheneos doesn't want you to.
