Until Graphene's stock experience (i.e stock apps and launcher) mature enough to not look out of place next to google and apple

why, what's the problem with it? that it's not filled with promotional apps?

Additionally with the app/play store dualopoly, Motorola would be shooting them selves in the foot if they didn't ship with the play store.

they could just ask in the setup flow whether to install the play store

Honestly I can't tell the difference with the launcher compared to what shipped on the phone, not that I used that very much - but I upgraded from an LG G8 and the whole thing looks very familiar. The camera app feels very much like the one on my LG but I suspect someone who is more into photography than me would be frustrated by it. But the standout awful stock app has got to be the clock, the ui is clunky and feels awful to use, the tones are obnoxious, and it has all the visual flair of a C student project.

I've mostly just replaced it with the alarm on my smart watch.
