Will graphene get fucked by this too? My plan was to switch over in September but I'm not sure if the changes mean graphene will be made useless.
My understanding is that no... not yet anyway. Phones with GrapheneOS are not "verified" Android so you can proceed to install whatever.
There will b .indirect damage with some devs likely stopping development as their userbase might get smaller still - if they refuse registering with Google.
And I guess there is a future when Google will start tightening the noose on Android itself, which will likely make alternate Android OSs harder to develop (though I know nothing about these things, I sense this is an option down the line).
The threat is also from empowering shitheels like VW who deliberately detect gOS and break their apps.
