Why give money to the people that develop surveillance tech? Isn't that the opposite of fostering privacy alternatives?

Paradoxically, Google is the one Android manufacturer dedicated to device experimentation and security (and I stress security, not privacy) in a way that allows for a secure mobile os stack that's resilient to spyware or tampering. Graphene build on the security and privacy that few other OEMs match on Pixel.
