I doubt that user-controlled root access is a significant variable in the face of zero-days; LineageOS+Magisk is more likely to resist attack than vendor ROMs that are lagging security updates by months.

If you allow root, there is no need for additional privEsc exploit. Also does LineageOS actually ship security patches reliably for software and firmware? How is Magisk helping to resist attacks?
