The sad part is that LineageOS, GrapheneOS and basically all Android alternative OS are built on top of the AOSP, which Google controls, and they’re staling updates to twice a year. These stalled updates may include critical security patches or device compatibility support.

Furthermore many android devices prevent users from entering a boot state which lets the owner install the OS of their choice, making everything more complicated.
