I was thinking more about the additional development time and how far behind open source devs would be vs OEMs. Having all development be closed leaves a sour taste either way.
How so? I doubt many ROMs are based on code that isn’t part of an Android release. Surely GrapheneOS devs can just use the Android 16 branch once it’s released to make an Android 16 version of GrapheneOS.
