    The amount of roadblocks Google is putting up for GrapheneOS is just ridiculous. None of their decisions make any sense, from the delayed source patches upstream, to the embargos, attestation issues, etc. Google simply regrets android being open source.

      There's a non-zero chance that three-letter agencies are lobbying for at least some of this.

        Yeah. Which doesn't mean Google isn't happy to comply for its own profit motivations.
