And you couldn't use your current phone for that? That is in cases where you have no choice left, and where your identity is known regardless. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good: just because this anti-feature may not work, doesn't mean you can't have better standards overall (assuming you're coming from a regular OS).
Not everyone had a Pixel, or even a phone that could be degoogled fully
That's my point. If your non-Pixel or Googled phone is able to support the new Play Services, you could use that device for the verification, instead of using the GrapheneOS device.
