Ugh, that's very disappointing then, I've always advised Lineage to people who wanted to deGoogle their phones :/

You are literally on a phone that was/is heavily subsidized by Google. They hold all the keys and own all the doors, if you want to degoogle, go Purism/Pinephone/Linuxphone.

To be fair, lineage+microg is probably the best you can get while still keeping a reasonable level of convenience (that is, still running android and most popular apps).

There's GrapheneOS if you have a Pixel 2+ or /e/ os for other phones.

/e/ is based on LineageOS, not even the latest at that, and searching on it a bit smells a bit of BS.
