I used lineage for a couple of years. In practice, you need to install a google play middleware to get certain apps you need, Eg, the password manager or authenticator you need for work. After installing these, I wonder if the lack of sandboxing means my phone is basically owned. Facebook famously spied on / hacked jailbroken years ago for example.

Does lineage in that case really provide better privacy? Honestly curious. I use an iPhone these days out of uncertainty
