Why so much hate towards GrapheneOS? The thing is carefully planned and executed. About Calyx... just don't forget that you won't get a secure boot... anyone who gets you phone can temper with your boot.
I don't hate GrapheneOS, it is probably fine. I just don't think I would feel comfortable running an OS on my phone when its main dev acts like this. That's just me and completely subjective.

Yes I'm aware of his bad soft skills... either way he does good work and he's capable of working on small details while still seeing the bigger picture - this makes him able to spot and fix stuff others would miss easily. Example that stuff you've reported.
Wasn't that the guy who stepped down from development entirely because of the backlash? Louis himself is still using it afaik
