The GrapheneOS team explicitly recommends against installing the aurora store for that exact reason. If you can install the stock play store with a burner email then the aurora store doesn’t actually give much of a privacy benefit (you are still uniquely identified either way) but aurora store is playing a game of whack-a-mole with Google.
I have heard it has some security problems as well, which might be a big deal if your threat level is higher. At the same time, Aurora store works without google play services installed, doesn’t that have some privacy benefits? I have heard that google play services in GrapheneOS has the same permissions as a regular app, however I still feel the pull to be without them on my main profile and feel like I don’t really get the implications of that. Maybe it collects less data but surely it’s still a lot?
Doesn’t sound like it’s specific to grapheneos. It’s probably on any android.
Don’t be afraid to use grapheneos. Grapheneos works perfectly fine. It’s a normal android just with more control over your phone.

GrapheneOS is the ONLY free android build that has an alternative by installing the playstore…
