However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

There are no Google services installed by Graphene, you have the option of running Google services if you choose, but even if you choose to do so they are kept in a sandbox and not given privileged information on the system.

Using Google hardware results in financial gain for Google, which is one of the worst companies out there for privacy and security. I do not like that GrapheneOS is working to propagate Google's monopoly.

You're moving the goalposts, you said:

What matters infinitely more is who has access to your data. And Google is one of the worst offenders.

That's completely different than who benefits financially from your phone purchase.

I'm not moving goalposts. If you care about security, then you should also care about not making money for Google.

Those are two different things.
