Yeah, but those few million users are not global-market-relevant.

It's still good.

GrapheneOS unaffected - > more enthusiasts switch to it - > more funding - > better UX - > more interest, more adoption from less tech savvy people, possible professional grapheneOS installation services (think a guy helping gam gam install windows for a bit of cash, to start)

And so begins the beautiful cycle of mainstream adoption of something great

Or at least that's what I tell myself when the current tech world scares me at night

Graphene, at least in its current state, is dependent on Google continuing to allow Pixel phone bootloader's to be unlocked and relocked after a new OS is installed, and is dependent on Google for receiving timely upstream security update patches as well. Given Google's current direction my guess is that both these things might be threatened in the future.
