 We'll need to know more but this is what the Washington Post reported:
   "Google's master software for some Android phones includes a
   hidden feature that is insecure and could be activated to allow
   remote control or spying on users, according to a security company
   that found it inside phones at a U.S. intelligence contractor.
    The feature appears intended to give employees at stores selling
   Pixel phones and other models deep access to the devices so they
   can demonstrate how they work, according to researchers at iVerify'
   who shared their findings with The Washington Post.
I assume that showcase.apk was removed when grapheneOS was installed as that is intended for use in Pixel phones.
