Looks like it's taken some principles from GrapheneOS and other alternative ROMs.

Starting from the home screen, your main home page on Apostrophy OS is called the “Domus.” It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.

So far, not so good...

This sounds like an absolute nightmare!

Yeah, not trusting corporations with your data? Don't worry, just trust us, a small unknown company

This honestly feels like some 3-month early April fool's joke. A smartphone more dependent on an external set of servers than what Google already has.

This author is so ignorant, how are they a tech writer if they know nothing about AOSP and android?

I'd use Sailfish long before this thing. And it has a track record as an OEM replacement, though not on many phones.
