What a silly thing to say.
I'm absolutely certain that no contributors, and extraordinarily few users, are ignoring the risks implied by the google dependency.
A pixel with Graphene is the best option for a daily driver for as long as it's viable. I expect that's everyone's understanding of the project.
I don't really see how this project can "pivot to a non-android platform", as I imagine none of their codebase can be transferred.
Sooner or later the project will become non-viable and we will all switch to whatever the best option is at that time.
Or everybody who isn't Google will have to collaborate on a hard fork of AOSP.
Or some governments will have to finally break out of their oligarchic regulatory capture and step in with antitrust law.
Along with the Google Play dependencies and Android SDK that everything is tied to. Or we could use an OS that already exists and doesn't have any of that bullshit called "Linux".
Biggest hope would be the French government to do stuff to help out Murena
