The irony of having to buy a Google phone to get rid of Google services will never cease to amaze me. :/
Graphene is working with a different OEM, so, we may not need Google's devices to run GrapheneOS soon.
We don't know the OEM and chances are, it's one whose hardware won't work in the west, where the personal information Google harvests is worth more.
To Google, this move from Graphene is the trash taking itself out.
Bold to say someone else is likely wrong when you yourself admitted we know nothing. Why do you believe this other than your own pessimism?
We know Google sells the data. That's their core business. They've never been shy about it either.
