Now that android is becoming a walled garden, what options do I have? (sh.itjust.works)

I learned only yesterday that Google is going to effectively shut down open android. So I'm gonna have to move away from there. But what are my options? Is there a nice website that lists and compares alternatives?

I hear that Graphene is the goat, but I'm not on a pixel phone. Currently I'm on a Samsung galaxy a15

I hear about lineageOS as a good second, but it sounds like Google's decision to close down android might affect lineage too.

I hear about others, but I'm not too well versed in running obscure OS.

I'm a bit sceptical about that.
Would they be forced by the government to plant some backdoor? Or would Google do some shady trick.

Tbh in a situation where they shut me out of all options - I will start buying Huawei harmony devices just out of spite. And if some networks are missing - idgaf anymore
