Could you be any more specific about what features they've removed such that the hardening functions work? Because I think there are none

They're quite open about it. https://grapheneos.org/features#attack-surface-reduction

You said removing features. This link is talking about making certain feautures optional and disabled by default, not removing them.

Did you happen to notice the phrase "stripping out code" in the first sentence?

And which features have been removed, as you claim? Removing code is not necessarily removing features. I use GOS and I honestly can't think of a missing feature compared to the stock OS, other than stuff not in AOSP in the first place, like gemini.

Disabled, is removed...

Removed from operation

Don't be ridiculous.

> disabling optional features by default (NFC, Bluetooth, UWB, etc.), when the screen is locked (USB, USB-C, pogo pins, camera access) and optionally after a timeout (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi).

Erm, okay if this makes you think the phones don't have WiFi or NFC or something, you've been misinformed
