Likewise modifying the bootloader requires unlocking it - which means no more secure boot and anyone who takes your phone can happily boot whatever they like on it. This is also bad.
Except for Graphene. The last step in the installation is locking the bootloader back, and the phone clearly says it’s locked.
Graphene is a custom OS, not a root process. Further, Graphene OS is not rooted by default. The GrapheneOS maintainer has written at length explaining why they don’t include root access by default (tldr: makes the phone less secure).
Configuring root mode aka ‘rooting android’ is different to installing a custom OS.

Good point. Sometimes it helps to read properly
