It does, but that's exactly my point. GrapheneOS will provide you essentially no more security than any other alternative Android operating system, should it have to operate on a Fairphone with all those features not supported by a Fairphone stripped away.
Unless Fairphone adds more hardware security features that are standard on most other phones, and highly supported on Pixels, installing a heavily crippled GrapheneOS on a Fairphone would get you essentially none of the benefits of GrapheneOS in the first place.
once again, that is completely false. I'm fed up with all the people pretending that all grapheneos adds is hardware security.
If the features you want are still in software like degoogling, you have other options available
