It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    I am very relatable regarding this change. i never know the settings page i need to go in order to change the launcher. I go to the settings and in the search bar, i input 'default'. In the result there should appear a Default home app. click that. If you have another launcher installed it should appear on the list.

    What are the benefits of installing a new launcher? Is it just aesthetics?

    That and features. I use Smart Launcher because it has a transparent themes like Liquid Glass which blends with the wallpaper. Has good search function. also Auto organizes your apps in categories.

    How do you become comfortable with the amount of permissions the launchers need? I'm struggling with that. The default is not bad though.

    I am using GrapheneOS, not Fairphone yet with e os. i went to the permissions after i read your comment and lawnchair actually doesn't have any permissions on my phone. I suspect eOS wouldn't need any either.
