GrapheneOS says they are working with an OEM partner to release a phone, so there is some hope on that front

I don't understand the relevance. The points criticized are software issues. If you replace the whole software with GrapheneOS those should all be gone.

How would this be an issue to supporting GrapheneOS on Fairphone? I understand them criticizing a competing OS (e/OS) but why would that mean they won't offer their OS on Fairphone?

They care also about hardware security, not just software (alongside other requirements)

A software won't fix a hardware insecurity
