I am not on Android now, but…

…Can folks not just dual-boot?

Like, keep a stock partition to make Play Store apps happy, and a “main” GraphemeOS boot option or whatever.

To my knowledge no. Theres also the issue of hardware. For example, I stupidly gave samsung another chance about 3 or so years ago, and you basically cannot put another OS on their devices without bricking them.
