Motorola with GrapheneOS has all the same failings of any other custom ROM.
Which failings in particular?

Which API do you mean?
adb backup If you control the build, you should implement your own Backup Service. You should not just open all apps' data to any app.
Oh, that useless thing. I was very confused about something which can "app data that requires authorization" (thought maybe it's some Google service that extracts your secrets for device migrations) but you just mean the old adb backup that the security industry (that I'm part of, and fighting from within :p) destroyed in the name of people's own good
Like, yes this exists, but it doesn't back up half the things you need :(

I don't find the assertion credible that people are getting scammed out of more money than the entire platform is worth. But given that Google does not make the revenue for Android public, what kind of numbers do you think you're talking about here? Also, I think it's disingenuous to say that scams are predominantly powered by sideloading. I think the vast majority of the scams that are perpetrated use apps directly…
Googles total revenue in 2025 was about $400 billion across their entire company. It's hard to estimate how much money scammers steal in general but if you take an estimate[1] that each of the 300,000 forced laborers generates $300-400/day then you end up at a figure of 40 billion in scams, and considering android has most of the market in the regions the scammers target you can be pretty sure those are android owner…
These numbers aren't credible. Total credit card fraud globally is projected to reach $43 billion in 2026. You're arguing that fraud on Android alone is equivalent to that. Doesn't smell right.

Do you also believe mass surveillance is necessary to protect children?
No. Their stated implementations should be also privacy preserving as they are using on-device LLM models. Not sending your calls or texts to a datacenter.
Large language model models
