Thats where my "I applied logic there" came from.

But, if all is as you described it looks like the creators of GrapheneOS had 
little choice than to strip Googles android.    I always thought that a 
basic Android was out there too.

I can only hope that Google didn't put its stuff into Androids Linux kernel 
...

I was thinking of turning off automatic updating*, and would also be 
negativily surprised not being able to find it.

* didn't yet look for it, as I consider that phone to be a tool, not a 
computer on which I do, to me, important stuff (read: hobby programming).
