Do not really understand how Android sandboxing works for system apps.

    No package in Android has the ability to bypass app permission system (introduced with 4.4 KitKat), unless there is an expensive or undiscovered 0day (that allows Pegasus to work), or some malicious “Administrator” user installed onto device allowing to accomplish this. This covers both system and userspace packages. GMS is no different. There exists no evidence to what you claim.

    Any distribution by these OEMs is a secret sauce, you have no way of knowing what shenanigans they are pulling on your phone.

    Would you care to put your weight behind your claims? If I have to spot a half knowledge person, I just need to spot anyone cheering about GrapheneOS being some kind of revolutionary AOSP fork.

    Android, including its OEM and AOSP forks, is fairly very deterministic and not some Madagascar jungle with man-eating plants and magical evil vines.

    Just stop blabbering these buzzword phrases “opensource=security” “grapheneos gud” to fuel your confirmation biases.
