Here’s a timeline
Granite forms in hot spot -> granite moves with continental plate -> continental plate hits oceanic plate/other continental plate -> all the rocks get thrust upward into into a mountain range -> all the rock above the granite gets worn down by erosion -> granite on the surface.
Granite is a very strong rock, and so it doesn’t wear down quite as easily as others, leaving large portions of it on the surface or poking out.
