I wonder how Motorola feels about that, given it’s a US-based company. They would have had US consumers in mind when they agreed to work with GrapheneOS, but this seems to suggest Graphene will refuse to support a pretty large potential market in California.
My assumption is the model Graphene is supported on will be sold in California, but with Moto Android by default. The user can then install Graphene on their own.

Motorola phones are owned by Lenovo, a Chinese company.
Do you not understand the meaning of the word “based”?

Exactly the same as the Pixel now.
if the userbase of graphene reached critical mass in California, I wouldn’t be surprised if the state banned bootloader unlocking
Yes, that sounds likely.
