They couldn't answer the question most on my mind: "We’ve reached out to Google to inquire about why a custom ROM created by volunteers is more resistant to industrial phone hacking than the official Pixel OS. We’ll update this article if Google has anything to say."

Is grapheheOS actually harder to hack or does cellebrite just not put a lot of effort into supporting it because the very low odds of LEs running into one in the wild?

Clearly it's harder but just how much harder is anyone's guess? Surely higher value targets would be more likely to use Graphene, so I would think that would make it just as important to invest resources into.
