When the complaint people have about a product is "I can't use it and I really wish I could", I feel like it's a good problem :-).

> Running GraphineOS without all the security features they want would be better for me than what I currently have.

But then it would be like running LineageOS, which is a great (but different) project. Why not using LineageOS?

And this is somehow harming who?

You're free to fork it to adapt it to your device.

The expectation that the entire project brand must be diluted (by lowering the security) to support you specifically, or you feel wronged, is a little, my apologies -- absurd.

Nobody is harmed by their pursuit of perfection. But the adoption of GraphineOS has certainly been hampered by its lack of device support.

I personally believe the project would achieve more overall good if they supported more devices - assuming they are capable of doing so without sacrificing software quality. That includes support of devices which do not meet the project's current security standards.

When did I make any demands of GraphineOS? I have no expectation that they support me. I'm not entitled to benefit from the work they've done. My opinions are merely opinions and those who maintain and contribute to GraphineOS are not obligated to value them.
