GrapheneOS says Pixel 11 has MTE support after all

Let's say you are a Graphene OS user. Why are you even using such an app?

Also you are misrepresenting the threat model. The problem is not an app deleting it's own legitimate data.

P.S. On GrapheneOS you can block apps from getting Internet access to limit their bad ideas.

I do not feel you addressed my point at all.

I want to install an app now, and protect against its developer doing a rugpull on my local files later. I do not want to need to review each new app version in advance as I install it.

This is clearly a legitimate case where what the Android security model says I should be permitted to do makes me less secure against an attack by the app developer.
