In the specified comment GrapheneOS explicitly stated that they have no opposition against non-free binaries and proprietary programs. Doesn’t Free software requires it to not host non free binaries? This is not even firmware

I don’t think it is possible to run android without any binary blobs from vendors or other. They try to limit it as much as possible, while still remaining practical and offer compatibility.
Yea the firmware always remains proprietary.
Open hardware has open source firmware.
We don’t have all that much of it yet, but it exists.
Yes but were talking about GrapheneOS here and afaik it only supports Google Pixel phones that have proprietary hardware and firmware.
Yeah. Good point.
What we have for open hardware and firmware, on phones, in particular, is very slim pickings.
Firmware I get. But they also endorse play store too
