Totally fair, not super hard to mix up. To answer the question from what I’ve seen both Graphene and Lineage are not including the code to box out non credited apps. But they don’t have a large enough user base to keep the devs motivated if I had to guess
That’s not the reason. The app verification daemon is part of the Google Services, not of AOSP. Even if Graphene and Lineage wanted to ship it, they legally couldn’t for the same reason they don’t ship the playstore. But as soon as you install the playstore manually, which is possible, you’ll get the verifier service, too.
