The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

Knowing nothing of the situations details, when you're a thorn in the side of the most powerful interests on the planet,it seems reasonable that a small group would face deliberate, concentrated pressure from business to legal and the state and any other mechanism. That's generally what power does, assuming the little guy isn't subsumed.

What is the evidence of foul play by GOS, or why would they not have a pretty extreme bias of support?

I think everyone would love some evidence here, but so far it was one journalist from one newspaper talking to one cop that said criminals are using GrapheneOS because it destroys evidence. Afaik Daniel didn't post any notification, inquiry or general communication he received from any government official or agency...

from business to legal and the state and any other mechanism.

I'm not referring to any of those "mechanisms", I'm referring to basically the entirety of the privacy/security/sovereign communities. They disparage other Android "privacy" platforms and communities on a regular basis, then claim to be victims of "targeted attacks" from those communities. Louis Rossman and Techlore are also 2 people who have also been accused of "harassment" without evidence. Just for starters.
