CyanogenMod, as the name suggests, was explicitly a nod to add in features that didn’t exist before.

That was indeed a losing battle because Google has far more resources to add features ans beat CyanogenMod.

On the other hand, a de googlized and privacy focused platform provides something that Google can never provide.

There’s also a change in the environment surrounding all Of this. Thanks to the weaponization of Android by the American government, every country and company in the world is looking for a De GoogliZed alternative.

Cyanogenmod is still alive and thriving as LineageOS. The goal was never to beat (Google) Android, it's just a custom ROM that provides many desirable features.

Isn't CyanogenMod just AftermarketOS before rebranding?
