I dont know exacly, there is chromiumos that is like what AOSP is for android or chromium for chrome. But a complete security and privacy focused distribution like grapheneos doesnt exists today.
Recently google announced that it will migrate a lot of chromeos system to android, making it more similar to a sort of android x86-64.
I think will ship the google forked gki kernel like android and will run on the integral android JVM.
In future maybe grapheneos could be released easily for desktop, as chromeos is becoming de facto android.

Even if grapheneos is objectively so good, I dont like the "security-by-restrict-user-access" approach. I think the control of the system and the root access are the most important thing for "owning your computing", even if from great powers come great responsabilities and great dangers.
Also with a google owned giant monolith like AOSP or chromium, even if open source, you will be subject to the decision of a single company (who will fork this mess? Who has so much money? Another google?).
Linux distros can be simple, modular in his components so you own your system and choose what component to use. I personally forked and maintain a wayland based window manager with my patches, and it is manageble by one man in spare time. How many people would need to fork and hack with the android graphic stack? Thousands plus one. Because one guy need to change the lightbulb.
