Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it.
I know, that GrapheneOS devs have addressed F-droid very negatively it the past (and they still do that), but imo, including Accrescent as a part of official GOS App Store is very harmful for FLOSS movement, as Accrescent does not support any third-party repos, claiming that they are “breaking the Android security model”, and also allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo.
This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.

It’s not harming anyone. You can still install FDroid as you wish.
Likewise you can choose not to install closed-source apps. Personally I appreciate having the ability to install apps of all kinds from outside the Google Spy Store.

No one said anything about a misconception. That’s a nice piece of propaganda there. Another reason Linux will never proliferate. Because they don’t want it to.
