You can flash eOS by yourself no a fairphone and if inevitably something breaks you don't have to move everything to another phone, you can easily repair by yourself!

eOS+Fairphone is fairly different proposition. Not equivalent to GrapheneOS in my view. It's a good option in terms of product ownership. GrapheneOS remains the undisputed best proposition in terms of security.

Why hasn't GrapheneOS started supporting Fairphones ? Because they don't meet their security requirements on hardware level. Why hasn't Fairphone seek partnership with GrapheneOS? Maybe they did and we don't know about that because it didn't lead anywhere, probably because the 2 organizations have very different goals.

You are probably thinking the demographic that value privacy and security overlaps with people valuing product ownership, repairability and fair manufacturing. You would be totally correct. I would be delighted to have an all inclusive option at a reasonable price. Today it's a trade-off decision. Repairability as top value: Fairphone+eOS. Security as top value: Pixel+GrapheneOS.

Sorry I don't get y'all aren't top secret whistle blowers and even then better not use a phone for anything related...
