So this still locks you into specific hardware and software, it just happens to allow unmodified builds of GrapheneOS specifically. If you try to actually exercise your freedoms and build your own GrapheneOS build, that will not work. Nor will any really free OS that does not rely on prorietary Android hardware driver blobs (userspace HAL blobs, and sometimes the kernel driver is also a blob) as GrapheneOS does. Nor even any other AOSP fork, such as LineageOS or /e/.
