> Root access takes agency away from you and gives it to 3rd party software

The mind bending people get into to prove GrapheneOS' statements right. Do you realise GrapheneOS is a third party as seen from yourself? Their system updater can sure as hell install (and cause to run) any code they like

If you can't give yourself root but a third party holds all the cards, you don't have more agency than a scenario in which you can issue commands at the same permission level as the OS
