Just out of curiosity: Why would Graphene OS only choose Pixel phones? I mean, why should anyone shove money down Googles throat just to decouple from Google?

Dude, the answer is literally on the corresponding wikipedia page.

GrapheneOS currently is only compatible with Google Pixel devices,[23] due to specific requirements that GrapheneOS has for adding support for a new device, including an unlockable bootloader and proper implementation of verified boot.[24][25] In October 2025, GrapheneOS said that it was working with a "major" Android OEM on future devices that would support the OS on Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms,[26][27] and that they will be the flagship devices, expected to appear in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027.
