This doesn't matter. Literally every custom ROM comes with its own forked version of the AOSP dialer and messages.
This is a good thing. It's removing garbage bloat that no ROMs even use.

Google is trying to kill open source based on the assumption that their code is good enough to stand on its own, but as we've seen before, the majority of innovation that occurs on Android and it's derivatives come from third party developers.
I'm using LineageOS. A new dialer app wouldn't be that hard (not needed on a tablet) and there are plenty of messaging apps.
LineageOS already uses their own version of these apps. They do not use AOSP Dialer or Messages.
Great. I was unclear on what the default is after Signal deprecated sms support so I had to pick something else to handle them.
Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !
No ROMs even use these apps. They all have their own forked version of a dialer and messages.
On my crdroid rom I use the Google official dialer and message app and they are pretty similar to the aosp one with more features. So I don't have any reason to go back to aosp apps maybe for privacy but, for privacy just throw the phone cause the system itself spying you.

Will this affect grapheneos?
Bastards. At this point, Android is slowly loosing its appeal over iOS. Thanks, Google and fuck you.
