Many companies have strict rules against using anything with any GPLv3 code. We do not want to push away companies from using GrapheneOS or partnering with us.
Many open source projects avoid GPL completely or specifically avoid GPLv3 variants. See https://www.openbsd.org/policy.html as one example.
