Graphene is only on pixels, why not their /e/os?

Graphene is only on pixels

Only because Pixels have met their hardware requirements. They are going to start working with Motorola now.

why not their /e/os?

From what I understand, the two OS are not aiming for the same objectives. /e/os is a degoogled OS and that's its main purpose. GrapheneOS is focused on hardening security on AOSP.

/e/ os is not degoogled.

On some technical level you may be correct, but their site claims that /e/os is degoogled.

https://e.foundation/e-os/

/e/OS is a “deGoogled” version of Android OS. It has an open-source Android OS core, with no Google apps or Google services accessing your personal data.

  • Google default search engine has been removed from the OS everywhere and replaced with our new ethical search engine: Murena Find
  • Google Services have been replaced by microG
  • Connectivity checks do not use Google servers
  • We do not use Google’s Network Time Protocol servers
  • We do not use Google’s Domain Name System servers
  • Geolocation uses BeaconDB Location Services in addition to GPS

So I would love to know more about what you're talking about.

their site claims

Yes, they lie. GrapheneOS is the only fully degoogled android based OS, full stop.
