I also avoid sandboxed play like hell.

But note

  • microG downloads official Google binaries. It is not some magical reverse engineered bundle. It is a reimplementation
  • microG has privileged access to the system, and thus gives Google privileged access
  • apps needing Google Play often include the binaries themselves and dont even rely on an "adapter"
  • GrapheneOS sandboxed play has the same access as the apps, not more, not less

Sandboxed Play is better for privacy and may prevent a Pegasus/malware vector.

DivestOS has sandboxed microG but I didnt try it. Also note that microG could break any time and the Google binaries may be outdated.

Privileged android apps are a huge attack surface as so many devices have them. So outdated privileged microG binaries may be a target.
