In the above case it's actually a move away from security. In order to support MicroG, their OS needs to be patched to allow signature spoofing which can be used to install malicious applications that look like legitimate ones. LineageOS, which is what efoundation forked has opposed this: https://old.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/8p4169/what_is_l...

I don't disagree with those points. My point was even raising awareness that one can get a "de-Googled" Android phone (even if that phone supports and encourages things like microG) will raise awareness about de-Googled phones and why that's a good thing. Once awake, aware, and informed they might decide they don't care, use microG, or decide that going all the way and going with Graphene is the right move.

Doubtful considering GrapheneOS is not a business oriented project.
