    Android roms usually let you record calls already.

    I.e. https://grapheneos.org/features#other-features

    Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).

      I think the key difference is this part:

      users are still responsible for complying with their local laws

      I’m assuming Google has the feature implemented in such a way that the user can’t violate wiretapping laws (without otherwise interfering with the OS in some way), which is actually really significant because that eliminates a lot of the grey area that users of these ROMs and other apps generally operate in.
