My suspicion is that this is partially risk based pricing for Motorola. They know some people value privacy, but they aren't banking on lots. So if they're putting the work in on this they want to see the value back.
Fair, but, as per the article, these devices will ship without GrapheneOS, so they'll be mostly focused on regular consumers. This is not some GrapheneOS-first model, even if they've done some work to assist GrapheneOS project.
