Because fucking google pixels are the only devices that meet the GrapheneOS developer's requirements.
I agree that it's disappointing, both because google has incentives to abuse their control of the hardware and because of the electronic waste created by devices that lose support after an arbitrary number of years.
But that's how it is, at least for now. In the meantime, there's always LineageOS.
Some devices can also use calyxos. I have used that also but still prefer graphene. Both teams to good work though.
