Absolutily.  Just like Googles tracking and adware-infested version of 
android is just android. :-)

> I've always understood that GrapheneOS is Android that's been "degoogled"

What about the possibility that some nitwit has come up with that 
explanation, and instead GrapheneOS is a clean version of Android plus some 
privacy and security stuff added to it ?
