Since it is open source it is possible, but does this break any funcionality when running on other devices?

A basic requirement most devices don't meet is the ability to relock the bootloader. Other than Fairphone, Google Pixel and OnePlus basically no manufacturers allow unlocking and subsequently relocking the bootloader, which makes custom ROMs inherently less secure than stock. This keeps CalyxOS from most devices. LineageOS can't be relocked and thus is able to support way more devices.

Others have pointed out more in-depth security requirements GrapheneOS specifically thinks of as mandatory (they do take security very seriously).

Oh OnePlus allows that? Dude it'd be fucking great is Calyx and/or Graphene could support them they are like half the price of Pixels and their downsides is for the most part shorter update life cycle, which this would fix!
