The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

Who benefits?

Who benefits from sowing a narrative around "drama", "accusation", and/or "paranoia". Seriously.

I think given the following circumspect; GrapheneOS's reaction, to move project pieces out of potential hostile environments/jurisdiction, is perfectly reasonable.

France's Support for EU “Chat Control”, scanning proposals. France has been one of the governments most supportive of EU‑level proposals that would require scanning of communications and devices for illegal content.
The general French framing and approach to cybercrime. As in other EU countries, French authorities are pushing for: Expanded powers to compel cooperation from service providers, and developers. Strong rhetoric against tools that are seen as systematically obstructing investigations.

The main GrapheneOS dev creates beef with a bunch of other projects. It's not some shadowy organisation, it's him having stupid takes in GitHub issues and spreading false claims about other projects.
