    But they won’t be de-googled. I assume Google has some sort of Trojan software that remains permanently in the background that users can’t see.

      Untrue. Motorola with GrapheneOS will still be degoogled. No clue where your idea comes from. Motorola is not even Google anymore.

        I think they’re saying that the Motorola phones will have never had google, so they can’t have the sleeper trigger google leaves behind when it has been removed from a phone. I don’t know if the Motorola phones will have the google app store or any other google apps preinstalled, though.

          I don’t really understand. Motorola phones have and will come with Google play. There will just be official support for GOS. That could mean two things: you have to flash it yourself or you could get it preinstalled. Either way I don’t see how the first part changes.

            Then that’s cleared up :)

            I didn’t know that they would have the google play store installed, so either I interpreted them wrong or they also didn’t know that.
