I think there’s definitely security concerns which is their highest priority. If the kernel isn’t maintained, security issues aren’t getting patched. You might be able to cobble something together, but there’s going to be holes.

I think they’re paranoid and that’s not a judgment. Rightly so if security is your first priority.

According to the Graphene OS website, the main issue isn't even that. It's that you can't relock the boot loader on almost any device other than a Pixel. That leaves a huge security hole on the phone, and it's one that almost all rooted users of other phones have open, whether they realize it or not.
