TLDR: Drug dealers in Catalonia have started to adopt GrapheneOS en masse leading to Catalan police suspecting anyone with a Google Pixel is a drug dealer

TL; DR-- There are many good reasons for regular people to prefer GrapheneOS

I wouldn't exactly call the people that run a non-stock OS "normal"
