They aren't shipped with GrapheneOS because the developers of GrapheneOS explicitly don't want this. They dont want any possibility of some backdoor caused by the manufacturer to bring down their reputation.

It not being shipped with GrapheneOS is on purpose.

    Yes. I'm waiting for a chill fork of GrapheneOS. I love what the developers have accomplished. LineageOS seems close, but not quite there with features, last I checked.

    I was happy with decent default security and privacy in the past, and I could be, again, if it ever returns.

    I would be glad to purchase a device from a trusted party, who pre-installed public source code, on open hardware.

    I'll be very pleased if Framework ever releases a phone.

    And sure, most people, in general, are clueless, about most things. Point granted.

    But the people with a clue about today's brutal privacy situation want device that is reasonably assured to be respect their wishes, and not chained to the whim of some asshole CEO.

    Perfect is lovely. But good enough can still sell very well.
