It's a PITA to use. You set up different profiles for different uses to separate out app tracking. Turn off Google services when you can. Manage each app. Switch profiles around constantly.

It's work But... ain't nobody watching you.

Security. Privacy. Convenience.

Pick two.

You don't need to use multiple profiles. You can just have one profile and use the phone like any other Android.

It is just Android with extras. You don't have to create a lot of profiles. I use one profile for F-Droid and one for Google services (sandboxed). You could use it with just one profile for everything as well. I have shortcuts on the home screen for switching profiles, which improves ux a little.

Sure, you could. But that defeats the purpose.

GrapheneOS won't protect your cellular data and metadata. It can't stop location tracking by cell tower. But it does a lot for those who are privacy concerned.
