wait, i have grapheneos. is my phone now at risk of corporate/government snooping in a way it wasn't before? i had understood it to mean that new phones would have a harder time being sideloaded. is that correct?

From the OP post image. It seems like things are vulnerable due to their update/patch frequency, and putting AOSP on the back-burner by skipping multiple scheduled updates (the latter of which directly affects custom ROMs).
I did pose my question in good faith for people to answer, so I'm not an expert or anything, but 4 month delays for patches sounds awful - especially if partner previews are a thing. It almost seems like this is Google providing exploit windows...
It's all very concerning.
