Of some help; I hope. Super glue is interesting stuff but, it is not waterproof. Using it on a countertop that you will wipe down with a wet rag etc and it will not last.

"Always been textured," granite is an igneous rock, at one time it was molten. I think all granite will have some quartz in it. Spaces, cracks etc. It was not good from the start.
"The original installer suggested super glue," not a great surprise, it is eight years old and they will not give you a replacement. Perhaps, time to call a professional.
