I personally never buy day-one hardware: ~6 months is usually enough for the first wave of quirks to show up and get patched. Still, it's good there are options now instead of Pixel-or-nothing. Strange they left GrapheneOS out of the announcement entirely. Maybe they don't want to scare the normies and Graphene's slice of Motorola buyers is still small enough that they'd rather keep the marketing aimed at cameras and Snapdragon....
Either way, the hardware options existing is the good thing :)
