As someone who doesn't really care about apps, if I wanted to move away from Android what phones and OSs are worth considering?

Let's see what will the future of Graphene be, since Google is not publishing the device tree anymore for Pixel devices...

It's not a non-issue i'm sure it's quite annoying to deal with, they just work around it. I hope the deal with their unnamed OEM works out and we get a native GrapheneOS Device. I'd buy it day one.
