You can buy a Pixel with Graphene already installed, and they're by no means obscenely expensive.

Supply chain attacks? Never heard of 'em. /s

I get the instinct but that is why GrapheneOS only runs on Pixels. Pixels have hardware needed to verify you are running the genuine GrapheneOS. Still safer and cheaper to buy stock and spend 10 mins installing Graphene of course.
