The thing is that while the EU standard does not limit hardware platforms, it does not mandate neutrality, so I can expect member states to only implement Android/iOS. In any case, I will not use that.

It needs 'hardware attestation', so a closed set of OS. It would be much better without any age verification.

Too often I see desktops where the only two graphical apps are some ultralight terminal and Mozilla. Why do they want to suffer?

Refuse it, ask for a chip card-based solution, which is very feasible. EU will require banks not to ask for smartphones with the PSR.

Is its bootloader unlockable, or locked to Graphene? Graphene seems to be trading freedom for 'security'.
