The title makes it sound intentional. The reality is because they added a security feature that verifies the integrity of the OS. Only to make it work on other OS they have to manually add it, but the number of users is so small that they don’t even think about it. This was Google’s intention when adding it.
Their intent was to block third party app, not GOS specifically. GOS not working is a side effect.
Why blocking third party? As said below: to force the use of privacy invasive apps, and collect more data.
Now they will change course only if they suffer from a sufficient backlash. And that needs to be painful enough to deter other car makers from doing the same.
But why?

Because they want your data :)
Because fuck GrapheneOS users, apparently 🤷♂️
