I think you're massively exaggerating the stability of running unsupported versions of Android on old devices.

> and literally any 10 year old android phone can run not just the latest security patches but even the latest android.

Not in my experience. Some models work decently, others have major stability issues.

so pick a rom that's common and well supported and popular for your phone model. i'm guessing your experience includes zero reading about what rom is best for what phone, before you put it on. kinda like buying a 2 star rated tv on amazon.

oh look, i googled 'best custom rom for nexus 6' and every result has good roms.

I think you're being needlessly confrontational and defensive. There's no need to make personal accusations about my ability to do research.
