How does GrapheneOS “lack boldly”?

Last time i tested it, it was kinda just a barebone/PoC. Camera worked like shit and basically everything else too. Granted it was a long time ago. Might’ve changed by now, if that’s what you’re suggesting by that?
But even if it’d be great, it will never touch mainstream. It’s nerd-stuff, even the work necessary to get it onto non-pixel-phones suck hairy monkeyballs.
Not to make fun of it or anything. I love that these exist.

Since the sandboxed Google Play Services were developed a year or two ago it’s been excellent, there are only one or two very Googley things (like Google Pay and Android Auto) which you can’t run without issue.

That sounds nice. Sadly i rely on android auto as my headunit has no internal navigation. Biggest downer for me was the camera. The FOSS-cams just couldn’t compete with the stupid gcam. Or only with constant fiddling and tweaking.
Guess I’ll try it again to see. My early-adopter-experience was just very unsatisfying 😁
