Something just doesn't make sense about de-Googling your life by buying a google phone. Even with GrapheneOS. Thankfully there are also lineage and e/os

The only way to truly degoogle is to use an iPhone
You can run Graphene with zero dependency on Google
It was great as long as google allowed it. With Android 16 they have stopped supporting building custom roms and with the Pixel 10 the situation may get even worse. Graphene team are in talks with OEM vendors about creating their own hardware but this isn't guarenteed to go anywhere either.
It sounds weird, but think about it: The only way to reverse-engineer a Google device is with an OS designed FROM Google's standard framework, but with hardened features built in.
PS - Using Lineage is like saying you have secured your house from rain, but your roof is 1/4 full of holes. It's definitely a step toward de-Googling, but it's not any where near secure or private as Graphene OS
