Isn’t the title misleading?

Should it not be:

Given it exploits merely a software in the stock ROM, not the device itself (e.g. with GrapheneOS).

Most people using a Pixel 9 will be using a stock ROM, so I think the title is fine in this instance (applying to the majority of users).

I have the impression that 100% of all GrapheneOS users, and a vast majority of AOSP-based ROM users, acquire Pixel phones, so I doubt that.

"Most A do B" does not magically follow from "Almost all B do A".
