I would be really happy if the problem did not exist, but we are talking about laws and their *interpretation* here. This is not just an act of force by the EU. If phone manufacturers like the idea of blocking their phones (see IOS and Samsung), they will be happy to use (and abuse) any law through interpretation to comply. GrapheneOS unfortunately cannot say anything about this yet; it can only wait for Google's next move.
So, running @GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8/9 in the US, how or when is the USSEU's new regulation lijely to affect a newer user liie me? Hard enough as a 55 year old to switch my laptop and desktops at home, to Linux! lol
