Here is my list of what any device really should have:
If the Operating System don't agree - there MUST be a way to install alternative OS with a SINGLE BUTTON CLICK.
Oh, god. Think of what kind of world that would open up with this simple rule. The device could be a smartphone, Windows machine, termostat, or a dishwasher. Anything would never be obsolete anymore and all users can be happy - a machine obeying the user. Wonderful. Please EU fix this!
I routinely get a Samsung notification telling me to agree to some new agreement thing. I swipe it away. It just reappears in 48 hours or so. I swipe it away. We've danced this dance for years.
I don't know what it's for, I don't care, and things are just fine as is. There's nothing it it for me so, no.

I hate that my phone is held hostage. My computer is free thanks to linux, it just sucks theres few linux phones that work in the US.
GrapheneOS is at least better than Google android.
GOS by all its strenghts, is following the paths treat by Google and Apple on defining what a smartphone has to be and how its security model has to look like, where only the OS distributor has full privileges, and you are just allowed to use it.
If you have the same requirements for your system as the people who designed these phones assumes you have, then GOS is great for you.
But if you want to tinker and customize, like we can with Linux systems, then Android and especially locked down systems like GOS aren't for you.
I am using GOS myself, because it is good, but I also have a separate device of tinkering.
