I feel like calling it "Google's Android" is muddying the waters between AOSP and Google's actual proprietary version of Android that comes with Google Play Services and such. GrapheneOS being built on the former is such a minor (though still valid) concern that it continues to be the first name in private/secure phone OSes for anyone who doesn't have a nuclear threat model
It's developed largely by Google. They control what features it has and doesn't have, the same way they do with Chromium. It's not minor in my opinion. Not really community-developed the way desktop Linux is.
