One thing I've never understood about GrapheneOS...when you put Google based apps on it, doesn't it immediately defeat the purpose of installing a custom OS anyways? There are certain apps that I'm not going to be able to get away from. A good example of this is Google Maps. I navigate places often, and nothing beats it for speed and accuracy.
So if I want to install it, I somehow have to get Google Play on the device, right? And once I do that, isn't Google's data farming crap stuffed all through my phone now? I feel like for a daily driver phone, there's no winning here. Does Graphene have some special way to protect against that?
