@rollerbang @ryanee@anonsys.net CalyxOS/LineageOS/postmarketOS/UBTouch and/or /e/OS would be better for trying to get banking support, they are compatible with plenty more devices including Google Pixel while GrapheneOS is only compatible with Google Pixel

Sure, but I'm trying to see it from a manufacturer's perspective. They've got to put effort in an OS regardless, so maybe it wouldn't be too much extra effort, if any, to have Grapehene supported.

It would require an entire separate TPM chip, integration of it on the main PCB, and all the the firmware and software handling that comes with that, and collaboration with the GrapheneOS team (which I hear on forums and people who have worked with them, is often not a pleasant experience) for an extremely small percentage of their sales.

Doing /e/ or calyx would definitely be significantly easier.

I hear all of that, but I'm going to maintain some hope since otherwise I'm stuck on google hardware for the foreseeable future.
