Sort of, as people need Privacy, there is an inevitable push to stop any form of censorship. Japan has already declared that online ID Verification is illegal, which puts a monkey wrench in Google’s Developer Verification plan. Plus, it’s only a matter of time before more Privacy-centered projects arise that essentially trump GrapheneOS, I heard of Project Treble, which plans to completely break every Android device by allowing all of them to accept Custom ROMs. A huge deal due to it being a solution for people with non-standard Android devices, like my Summit 5G or T901.
