There usually isn't a
subinary installed on non-rooted Androids. If you're rooting it yourself anyways, there's no need to use the exploit.I'm not as smart as the people who make alternative android options. I was just hoping it would help them jailbreak more of goggle's bullshit so customers actually have a choice to go for an android OS which respects them and their privacy.
grapheneOS has already vented on social media that theu are not affected because of how they configured SELinux and that the headline is therefore not correct

SELinux breaks a lot of android root exploits, way back in the day even dirty cow didn't work. It would get you "root" but not actually the full perms because of SELinux. Really good testament to the added security of MAC, it's one of the reasons I run apparmor on my systems
I'll be happy if I never have to look at SELinux or fapolicy ever again. Especially fapolicy because the documentation is shit.
It's the one thing I don't miss about being a sysadmin.
