Seems like a pure virtue signaling: they don't sell or make hardware. It is mandated only for pre-installed operating systems, from what I understand.
They've partnered with Motorola to have it preinstalled on phones, this is in TFA.

Motorola will obviously have a problem with violating the law in several US states. Like, what's unclear here? Do you seriously say that corporations should just ignore laws which they don't like?
If shipping a specific device configuration to the US is illegal, Motorola should not ship this specific device configuration to the US. I do not think our parent is suggesting otherwise. AFAIK Motorola and GrapheneOS are not merging, they are getting into a partnership. They do not have to think or do exactly the same. Apple can comply with both CCP and US demands at the same time without a problem. I am sure Motoro…
Demanding that OSes outright violate the law because you disagree with your own elected government is pretty insane.

Could just ship it along on an SD card with a single button install you do yourself. Technically not preinstalled.
I think that malicious compliance all the way might have been the better option here. If a birth date is all that is needed, let the user enter a random one. If actual biometric verification is needed alongside, let the user also paste the code to a fake biometric validator that always returns valid. It is the same philosophy as with an app that forcibly wants an invasive permission to the detriment of the user. Let…

I'm sure noone in the legal system of California would notice that trick!

Motorola is pretty much only present in US these days, why would they build a product that can't be sold in their primary market? Demanding that OSes outright violate the law because you disagree with your own elected government is pretty insane.
