I ended up buying used HP Elite x3 (Win10 Mobile) because of that. Even though MS dropped feature updates for Win10 Mobile, they promised security updates until 2020 if I'm not mistaken.

HP will update their phones into 2019. But yeah, the direct-from-Microsoft security updates basically make an Elite x3 a no-brainer for someone who wants a secure phone at this point. Apps are limited, but apps are usually a risk anyways, the ones you actually need are all there.

I'm slightly bummed by the lack of YouTube (hello again, Google), and Lyft.

FWIW, I consider being shoved away from Google products a bonus of the Windows Mobile platform at this juncture. ;) It encouraged me to finish transitioning away from their services.
YouTube is "good enough" in the browser, but I prefer to not watch videos on a phone anyways, and usually save them for later.
