Some of the mentioned things are real issues, but normal users dont care about physical security. If your physical security is threatened, then your failure point will be a pipe wrench.

    This meme doesn't really apply to Graphene OS when you can just give the duress password which permanently wipes the phone.

    You'd give the duress password before you get pipewrenched.

    And once it's wiped there's no point in them pipewrenching you because its too late.

    Counterpoint: Yeah, but if ICE kicks in your door would be comforting to know that powering your phone off prevents it from being cellebrighted. GrapheneOS with a supported Pixel device is one of the few smartphones that they can't exploit from BFU.

    The federal government isn't using wrenches (yet)

    I see the point, but there's a certain dignity in being able to go out with your secrets instead of having some spill them for you without so much as a fight. Unless they whip out the truth serum, idk what I'd do then.
