Unlike /e/, GrapheneOS doesn't connect to Google services by default and doesn't provide privileged access to Google apps and services when those are installed. Google apps run in the standard sandbox if they're installed. microG doesn't run in the standard sandbox but rather as a privileged app similar to Google Play on the stock OS. On /e/, microG downloads and runs closed source Google Play code with the privileged access it has by default as part of providing compatibility.
