If you main issue is the need to download apps from the Play Store, consider Aurora Store.

No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app's permissions, as you mentioned.
[...] and as another user said they are ~~somewhat~~ sandboxed.
I was shocked to find out that the hardest part of the installation was finding a Chromium based browser on PC lol
All you have to do to install GrapheneOS is press one button in the WebUI. No other 'ROM' has been easier to install.
I'm glad if they take my account down for me, actually
Makes sense. Whenever I open Firefox, of opens on the (empty) homescreen where I can start typing in the URL bar right away. But everyone has got their own ways!
It gets me wondering, I have never use a search bar widget in my life and I find them rather setting in the way.. My search bar is just 1 tap away inside Firefox, which is also on the desktop... I've not seen many people around me use it
Do people really use it?
To me I love to have control over what I update, I agree with it not being inconvenient. For other it might so it's not really necessary to be mean about it!
It does function just like any other phone so far I've tested. No app that simply doesn't work. And if it doesn't, you can simply exploit the GOS hardening in settings to improve compatibility. You overall have more control over any app, which I like
I mean.. Just a crush? I'll take a billion
