Do we know if Google is operating on the frontier of the trade-off curve? What do we lose from Pixel Android when GrapheneOS security changes are made?

Google's spyware (Play Services) ceases to work normally and Graphene had to patch it to run as an unprivileged app. So that's one "loss."

I personally don't bother with Google dependencies at all. If an app requires them to work, I will do without it.

Actually functionality, stability of apps and features people use.
