Just checked the wikipedia page today and it says that it’s “Unsupported”.
When did that happened, isn’t it currently the most used Android version?

5 years of official support, typically custom ROMs keep it alive even longer, basically until it’s too hard to keep fixing broken features.
They could keep it alive past five years if they wanted, but that goes against the goal of the project. Five years is longer than most manufacturers do.
“GrapheneOS aims to provide reasonably private and secure devices. It cannot do that once device support code like firmware, kernel and vendor code is no longer actively maintained. Even if the community was prepared to take over maintenance of the open source code and to replace the rest, firmware would present a major issue, and the community has never been active or interested enough in device support to consider attempting this. Unlike many other platforms, GrapheneOS has a much higher minimum standard than simply having devices fully functional, as they also need to provide the expected level of security.”
