can't wait until this is just completely bypassed and we can ignore Google again.

There's not really a way to bypass Google if they don't want there to be, and that's what they're moving towards. The only long-term solution is to cut Google out entirely.

Motorola with GrapheneOS is an interesting prospect. The space is ready for disruption and the tools to do it are more available than ever. Maybe it will come from the EU. Who knows, but Google overplayed their hand, IMO.

Also, let's be clear about the mobile landscape right now. Many apps aren't written in Java or Swift, but instead are being transpiled from other languages like TypeScript and using UI libraries that aren't locked to the mobile platform itself.

When a new mobile platform enters the space it will require some react-native and capacitor glue code and we are in business.

Motorola with GrapheneOS has all the same failings of any other custom ROM.

Which failings in particular?

Not being able to use tap-to-pay, various banking apps, some work apps, for example.

I have seen tap to pay work before with other ROMs
