I use GraphineOS and tbh its not inconvenient to use

Convincing someone to completely change their operating system isn't easy from the start.

If you're genuenly worried about your security it makes sense, the average person however doesn't care so they wont do anything to increase security

TBH, buying a cheap Chinese burner phone with no security relevant data on it just for traveling to the US, might be better security wise than buying an expensive Google Pixel Phone with GrapheneOS on it.

Especially now where Google, a US company and bound by its laws, that produces these devices, might (start) hand(ing) out backdoor keys to their hardware.

But with Graphene&Co you can make full backups, store them externally (e.g. selfhosted cloud) and then just apply before/after crossing borders as needed. Plus doing that makes a duress wipe way less painful if you ever need to. Tho, if you're somewhere where they're likely to just keep it instead of forcing an unlock or copying data, a cheap burner that doesn't hurt to loose is still the better idea...
