Every android kernel takes Linux and makes it closed source when the code is included to make it work with the hardware.
not really sure what the argument is here, this is a problem about manufactures not publishing their source code for their drrivers and firmware,
having another linux based mobile os would do nothing to solve this issue.
furthermore i doubt grapheneOs would describe their kernel as closed source
