  The whole point of remote attestation is to ban projects like GrapheneOS which "do it right". If you install such things, you are "tampering" with the phone, it becomes an "untrusted" device and you are banned from digital society, completely ostracized. It's not your phone, it's the corporation's phone, they're only generously allowing you to use it, on their terms. If you install GrapheneOS, or any other system that you gives you ownership of the machine, from the bank's perspective you turn into a fraudster, from the video game's perspective you turn into a cheater, etc.
