I feel like a huge aspect that this article and the GrapheneOS developers are overlooking is DRM content.
They're focusing on user security for a user's own data, but there's a whole other side to it with companies wanting to protect their own data - think Netflix and the like who use the same systems to ensure that nobody's been tampering with the device as a way of bypassing the copy protection of their media.
Now I'm not saying I support DRM at all, I'm very firmly in the camp of being able to own the media you purchase without restriction, but my point is that it's not as simple as Google being dismissive, lazy or ignorant but rather there's a lot of commercial sensitivity at play and if Google fucks it up, they could potentially lose certification of the entire android ecosystem.
i don't think what grapheneOS wants is to be able to spoof or bypass play integrity, they just wanna be able to implement it as well just like oems do so if someone will tamper the system in graphene as well, play integrity should blow off and drm content will be safe
