Interesting that they don’t cover puri.sm5 or NitroPhone, the latter having been built around GrapheneOS which the Tuta article implies is still a ways off for degoogled phones. This is actually a Pixel9a that has been modified to degoogle it, and seems like the most security-focused consumer phone I’ve looked at so far.
Purism is American does not run Android, and the NitroPhone is a rebranded Pixel with Graphene and disconnected sensors. Useful for privacy, not for e.g. European independence. Not much different from a particular reselling Pixels with Graphene.
The OP’s and article’s subjects did not specify a need for the less secure Android OS. And the NitroPhone is entirely deGoogled which @[email protected] or others could understand by reading the linked article, rather than rushing into snark-combat.
Tuta’s article was not about nonPixel phones. It was about escaping the Google ecosystem which aligns with the Nitro’s purpose, along with its hardening of security by physical removal of pixel’s sensors, to start. The [re-]design philosophy and methodology appear sound. If I were looking for a new, deGoogled phone now in the $900+ USD range, it would likely be my top consideration.
While I have rewritten my first comment, I’ll add an answer: NitroPhone has the same usecases as Graphene, and deGoogling is a side goal to privacy, in opposition to e.g. Lineage. This article seems to be for pure deGoogling and, to a lesser extent, phones assembled in Europe, which Nitro is not. A final reason is that Nitrokey is unknown to many, and possibly those that made Tuta’s post.

But again, it was an interesting article.

“All Nitrokeys [presumably including their reengineered phones; I’m not 100% certain, but that appears the case] are produced in Germany”
Lot of money for a grapheneos pixel 9a (729 euro), you kan buy them for 429 euro on. https://www.belsimpel.nl/telefoon/google
