alt Hacker NewsWhat exactly is the risk of getting temporarily banned on Uber? You have to use a different taxi app? As if such a thing even exists?!? Unacceptable!!
Every app on my phone has at least one other app, usually already installed, that can replace it. This wasn't intentional, it just happened naturally. Unless all two or three apps in a category get blocked for me at the same time, this already unlikely situation is barely an inconvenience.

If the same thing happens with the Lyft app, you may be stuck at your current location indefinitely, especially in less populated areas/late hours.

The key phrase there is "such services". It's not just about one problem once with Uber, it's the risk of problems like this with any service of that kind, or really any service you rely on.
If using GrapheneOS significantly increases the risk a person won't be able to use a service they rely on, that may be unacceptable.
