For example, they'll regularly suggest using sandboxed Google Play over F-Droid or Aurora Store

Because many of my used apps are only available in Google Play.

GrapheneOS gives you options that you don't have to use. I don't agree with you.

You know what Aurora Store is, right?

Thanks. I thought there may have been some sort of controversy about it, that's why I asked.

I didn't say it was a problem. When security and privacy come into conflict, they pick security. Myself, I don't care as much and I'm perfectly happy grabbing those apps through Aurora Store. My personal preferences don't completely line up with them in this case, but it's a principled position in its own way, and they don't stop me from doing it the way I prefer.
