also keep in mind that what teenagers (including me) tell adults is often not what we actually think, for various reasons

i can assure you that my impression of the youth is more encompassing than yours

i am the youth, nobody thinks this and in fact playing with a game console versus a phone is in fact even a fashion or cultural statement that people think is cool

the play services are not installed by default*

just so everyone is aware grapheneos only support’s pixels because it is specifically designed for taking advantage of the hardware security features found in google’s tensor and titan chips. and thus installing it on another phone would kinda miss the point (and vastly increase the scope of the project)

google is also basically the best company when it comes to phones for custom roms, as they provide stock images, a simple bootloader unlocking process (that doesn’t void your warranty as far as i can tell), and generally the aosp and software support that comes from being the phone of the developer of android.
