I remember something about Google asking developers for verification in 2027, will this affect GrapheneOS? Is a Pixel phone really worth buying still?

Not 100% sure but I believe this is to prevent side-loading on stock android. That is, a normal android can only install from the play store. Graphene and Calyx should be unaffected.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I will correct you…
It is called “installing apps google does not like” and not “sideloading” - term used from Google to make owning your stuff seem illegal.
You are 100% correct. It’s just where apps can be installed from. Nothing to do with installing GOS or any other OS.
