The title should be "Google doesn't consider GrapheneOS at all" instead... Anyway, if it was somewhere around 2020, it would be completely forbidden to talk about such topics on their community channels, and you would be banned for even remotely criticizing Google (and probably even doxxed by their personal army of raged teenagers from PrivacyGuides). This is why the project lost the support of many people from the security scene. Now, everything indicates that the people they were banning and censoring were right about Google. Instead of listening to these critics and exploring non-Google alternatives, the project spent a massive amount of effort battling and brigading social media to suppress any criticism.
