For myself no. I did find it with PinePhone. It just wasn't there yet and the pain to convenience factor was too great.
GrapheneOS was a real game changer. I had a lot of stress and anxiety knowing how much my privacy was being infringed and every day I felt that tension. When I got a phone with GrapheneOS, and got the few needed Android apps I used, I felt nothing but liberated. Yes, there are inconveniences, but that pure feeling of it being my hardware (rather than Google's), and that feeling of control over it is exhilarating to me. I feel free, and I cannot put a price on that.
This is a process though, and it takes months, or years to get to where you want to be. I knew what exposures I had, and I had to find a solution to each one.
