I commented elsewhere but GrapheneOS on Pixels actively siphon resources from Google and is arguably a good protest against google.

They subsidize Pixel hardware (to incentivize users to adopt their spyware OS), you (buying used obviously) take their subsidized hardware and do not repay them by using their spyware, replacing it with Graphene. Only google loses. Their hardware is technically very good otherwise (in fact no other hardware fits the strict graphene security requirements).

How about they start supporting more devices instead?

You should probably be asking Android OEMs why the requirements listed here https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices are unreasonable.

There are currently no other devices meeting the update and security requirements. GrapheneOS is partnered with a major Android OEM working on making devices meeting all of those requirements along with providing official GrapheneOS support. The devices are planned for 2027 but is being announced by the OEM in March 2026 so people will know which OEM it is soon.

Good news they are making their own devices. But until then pixels are technically the most secure android devices and graphene would not be as robust on other devices.
