Why is installing a different OS/Custom Rom on phones a huge hassle?
- Unlock bootloader (depending on vendor, you have to do an online verification),
- flash a recovery.img,
- load into recovery mode (which, depending on the phone, might need extra work)
- wipe some caches,
- select new os/rom image,
- pray it doesn't brick your phone.
You'd think someone would've learned a thing or two from the easy graphical installations linux and even windows have been offering since the late 2000s.

GrapheneOS is a really easy process, hardest part is unlocking the bootloader (which isn't hard at all).
Rest of the process is just clicking 3* buttons on a website and you're done.
*Some buttons you have to click multiple times
