Yes, and how do you get to LineageOS? Bootloader unlock (a complete pain on most brands, if even possible).

Then there's the whole Play Integrity thing messing with your mobile payments, biometrics in certain apps, or complete refusal to work (funniest/most stupid example being the McDonalds app).

Then there's the whole thing of being unable to relock your bootloader for added security because damn near no one supports Android Verified Boot. Relocking means bricking the device.

I should make a bigger effort to write down the things I'd miss from Android if I left...

I do love my ROMs though. Lineage can be a bit lacking in features and customization for my liking. My favorites are EvoX and crDroid, they're good at basically everything for a "heavy" ROM. PixelExperience was the bomb while it was going. RIP 🫑

I've been keeping my most recent phone (my first flagship) stock for peace of mind, but the siren song of real customization and AOSP is calling me...
