i dont get it, they are comparing eOS to graphene, not talking about the hardware.
this would be like grapheneOS not using pixel because the stock android that ships with it does not respect privacy.
am i missing something?

They're missing crucial industry standard hardware security features. They don't provide proper encryption protecting user data for the vast majority of users not setting a very strong passphrase.
The main hardware and update requirements for GrapheneOS are listed here:

We left another reply at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49354807 with more details on how Fairphone doesn't meet those requirements.
