No, Fairphone definitely isn't capable of meeting the requirements for GrapheneOS. They've made it entirely clear security isn't one of their priorities, that they aren't willing to invest substantial resources in it and that they're not capable of meeting the requirements even if they were willing to try.
Fairphone doesn't do the engineering for their devices themselves as you wrongly believe. Your statement that they have the hardware engineers to do so shows you aren't at all familiar with how they actually operate. Fairphone barely has any engineers working for them at all. They do close to zero hardware engineering themselves and extremely little firmware or software engineering too. It's why they got rid of one of their own operating systems and replaced it with the extraordinarily non-private and insecure /e/ which they now promote with Murena's typical false marketing for it.
Fairphones are designed and manufactured by Fairphone's ODM partner in China. Fairphone doesn't design devices, they only make requests to their ODM partner. Their ODM partner is not capable of meeting our requirements or interested in doing so. If we wanted to work with their ODM partner, it would make far more sense to work with them directly instead of going through an unhelpful middleman taking a large cut of the money from each device they sell. Fairphones are extremely overpriced for what's being sold and the marketing around updates, long term support, sustainability, privacy and security is highly inaccurate.
@ASUS@NVIDIARTXSpark This is how delusional the companies we used too love now are. "Historic Moment* they all tell you as they choke your favorite hobby.
