I loved how my xiaomi went EOL after a major update that broke receiving calls, also the battery saver thing.

Never buying anything off them again, especially after GDPR notifications on everything, like why the fuck do you need this data (I know. Xi Jinping wants to know the good furry fetish porn)

just don't use the official ROMs? this applies for every device btw, OEMs are not to be trusted

Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.

One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered "certified software" by the app and therefore not being trusted.

spoof safety net or sth
there are ways to get gpay to work. also you may have more luck with lineageos and full system install of official, proprietary google services instead of graphene (but of course you'll be sacrificing your privacy)
