Because the person who makes it gets touchy on some things and started drama with someone or doxxed them or whatever type deal. It’s not like you can’t talk about it you just can’t use the word because he was going through and being weird about conversations about it. It’s nothing against him or them it’s just one of those developers being a unique type of person - which makes sense in the hyper privacy space.
He gets away with it because he makes a high quality OS that people want to use. I don’t see it as much worse than e.g. using Linux when Torvalds is kind of an asshole.
After going through the linked threads. Discussing graphene OS or any other ROM on r/privacy will get you banned. WTF‽

He’s certainly “unique”.
I feel like he only gets away with it because people find the Dev of a privacy OS being incredibly paranoid somewhat reassuring…

“kind of an asshole” is a huge understatement. He’s said some truly unforgivable things
There are other reasons to not use Linux, but Linux (+glibc +systemd +libinput…) is basically “the Unix” nowadays…
