In the specified comment GrapheneOS explicitly stated that they have no opposition against non-free binaries and proprietary programs. Doesn't Free software requires it to not host non free binaries? This is not even firmware

I was saying wouldn't endorsing play store as an approved appstore is bad? Especially there are FOSS alternatives

Yes but if that's disabled by default and it warns that's anti-libre malware, Arch Linux does that and gets people off Windows, so who gives a fuck.
