I’m not sure you’re attempting good faith communication, but in the case you are, I think most people’s opinion is that there could be room for Google but people are just concerned about Google being the only option instead of one of many. That’s also my interpretation for GrapheneOS’s stance, they don’t intend on breaking compatibility with Google services but instead run them on your own terms, putting the user in control of how Google operates on their phone. Hence, I don’t see any contradiction in your two statements.
