For me it's a necessary compromise.

I'm a Linux user on my other devices and I'd love to have a fully libre and open phone, but the most important thing for getting my life tasks done is that apps work, so I'm somewhat hostage to where the apps are available and will run.

Graphene is me trying to achieve that in the least-bad way I can.

Sure, I get that.

But there are also people that don't use banking apps or pay via NFC, etc. They use their phone just to call and text people, browse the web and take pictures. I will not recommend buying a Pixel and putting GOS on it, if they don't specifically ask for a high security device.

If they are in the market for a new phone, I will recommend phones that are maintained for a long time and have a good active open source AOSP port community around them. For example the Fairphone with /e/ or Lineage with MicroG. Somewhere where people aren't funneled towards google services. Since privacy is a bigger issue for most people than security.
