> Approximately, if the user doesn't have root then there's no way to trick them.

So not having root (somehow?) prevents phishing and tricking? That doesn't seem useful or relevant for people who know what they're doing. If I'm wrong, please elaborate.

I read that in the security model and I don't care for it. App authors shouldn't have any control over how their software is used. In my opinion, of course, but for my computers my opinion is what matters.

I agree with you of course. The thing I find frustrating is the willingness of the GrapheneOS (and to a lesser extent LineageOS) devs to toe the corporate line, accepting anti-user-freedom bullshit in the name of this non-security.

Apologies for the ambiguity.
