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?

All of the listed features significantly raise the bar for exploitation ;

So Graphene is actually more secure than most stock ROMs, but e.g. banking apps won't run on it "for security"?

Why can't the stock ROMs use these features and be more secure also?

My banking apps run on it, but my concert ticket app doesn't, so I have a separate phone just for that one app.

Can concert tickets not be bought in a web browser?

Nope. This is eplus in Japan, and if you try go through the website it tells you you have to use the app. It's cos a lot of shows these days don't use paper tickets, but smart tickets on your phone. It is what it is.

They don't get to go to concerts in Japan.
