You are right. The user saying that "GrapheneOs is for everyone" is just classic HN bubble syndrome speaking from a position of privilege so great it blinds their worldview.
GrapheneOS is obviously not for everyone because it relies on the user having a certain income relative to their local cost of living. While Lineage is leaning more towards extending the usable lives of smartphones officially unsupported, Graphene leans towards security, especifically features that are only present on a few high-end devices.
This is why it is not hard to see why Lineage is the better option for most people while Graphene is the option for those wealthy enough.
Just like celebrities find hard to relate to non-celebs, many users here find hard to relate to those who are not wealthy. This to me sounds like if a celeb said that "space travel is for everyone".
