TL;DR

• GrapheneOS claims Google and Apple are increasingly using device verification systems to lock users into their own hardware and software.
• The platform says tools like Google’s Play Integrity, Apple’s App Attest, and Google’s reCAPTCHA systems make it harder to use alternative operating systems.
• GrapheneOS argues these systems are deemed as security features, but they strengthen Google and Apple’s control over apps and web access.
