This isn’t fully true. The GOS team said that it would be much more work since they couldn’t use their automated tools to build the image, but not that it’s going to be impossible.
Android is open source but Google is starting to move certain things behind closed doors.
This year they decide to no long provide “device trees” for pixel phones… Ie GrapheneOS will need to recerwse engineer android for each pixel devices where before this was provided.
The fix is called Graphene OS.
From what I’ve read, Graphene pushed the battery updates though
Probably makes sense. They don’t want to be responsible for your phone exploding.
Can this be installed even of your OEM Unlocking is greyed out?
No, you need to unlock your bootloader during installation (and then relock it after).
There were news recently that there won’t be grapheneos for newer models.

However, Google is definitely moving in the direction of locking everything down.
Do you have a definitive source for this? All I found was speculation.
GrapheneOS team has extra work cut out for them but nothing that they can’t over come.
But this is the beginning of the end IMHO
Over next few years Sundar the creep will ensure they are ml viable
Whats the reason?

Extra work, hard work but it is doable.
No there wasn’t.
Sure, in the same way that the fix for a smoke alarm going off is taking out the battery.
