Does graphine os or other open source android distributions offer a way to force backup hostile apps?

It's insane to me that strangers have more control over your property than you do.

If you can install alternative OS, you have your bootloader unlocked. If you have your bootloader unlocked, you can install magisk. And with magisk, you own your device, not some corporates - so you can back up any data you want.
