   Sandboxed Google Play runs unprivileged - line any other app - and thus provides no special access.

   MicroG on the other hand, needs to run privileged, requires closed source binaries and much more. It is not really an open source reimplementation.

     Can someone explain to me why GrapheneOS claims a sandboxed Play Services is somehow meaningfully better than using microG?

     Seems like to me using an open source replacement is a far superior solution?
