That might very well be, but their target audience is tiny, since they refuse to support anything but Pixel phones

Which sucks, because their features would also make other devices more secure. But at the same time they would

  • need substantially more resources (I think supporting Google phones is really easy, as they get full security patches for everything)
  • need to lower their security level a ton

No device needs even their basic requirements which are not even that high.

And even then the said points would be a problem

@Pantherina they could simply support phones with stock Android and there will probably be less work to do than supporting the broad range of devices that Lineage has.
