Call me confused. The comment I was responding to is saying something different:

> The initial limitation to Google/Android is not great, we know that, and we have support for other OSs on our list (like, e.g., GrapheneOS).

Yes, they still need to audit and whitelist the builds of GrapheneOS. That's what "standard APIs" are - they identify a build of OS, but someone still needs to make sure it's secure.

If you don't want Google to do that for you, then the app developer has to.
