GrapheneOS guy went on a very extensive rant on Mastodon when someone wanted to create an independent, European, list that could be used by apps to verify attestation. They want apps to hardcode theirs specifically.

Even with the "independent European" list, you would still be unable to use a custom OS not in it.
