Lineage is as much standard android experience as you can get after market without any gaming/styling mods. If google was series about AOSP and sustainability they should embrace lineage and at least give a non-rooted lineage with a relocked bootloader on pixel phones a safety-net pass. Lineage has been very careful to not piss off google by not including microg or alternative webview signatures or means to circumvent device attestation. This love is not returned. If supported it would be a way also for other manufacturers to give their devices extended lifetime support (and allow bootloader relocking with lineage). Without safety net, people cannot use it for e.g. banking if they do not want to get into the cat and mouse game of magisk or trust shady indian enthusiast custom builds (like me because I am currently lazy/busy).

(I am writing this on a Redmi note 10 with lineage 21)
