It is ironic, but that's the best you can get in terms of security on Android, which is why GrapheneOS supports nothing else

Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security
(no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)
From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.
There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)
Their network seems to run on some crypto bs, don't see a reason to use it over Briar or SimpleX for that matter
Like I can just host a Tor node or self host SimpleX
From their website:
As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.
AdNauseam is a free browser extension designed to obfuscate browsing data and protect users from tracking by advertising networks. At the same time, AdNauseam serves as a means of amplifying users' discontent with advertising networks that disregard privacy and facilitate bulk surveillance agendas.
Just like with ublock you have to configure it a bit, especially the blocklists
here is my setup:
(you can also import additional lists, these are rly cool https://github.com/bogachenko/fuckfuckadblock )

Just use Librewolf on desktop, Mull on your phone and be done with it
also I'd recommend Adnauseam instead of ublock. It's based on ublock but clicks on ads inseatd of blocking them.
Basically a form of protest against surveillance capitalism and obfuscation against it's methods.

They probably just want to cut down dev costs by outsourcing to ~~unpaid interns~~ volunteers
Why not just work on improving Briar?
From their FAQ it's great and covers a lot of questions better than I ever could):
