    better OEM UI

    Very subjective.

    Unpublished kernel code

    Don’t use those phones.

    Locked bootloaders

    Plenty of OEMs allow bootloader unlocking, stop buying Samsung.

    Safetynet issues

    It’s Google Play Integrity checking now, and as someone who has been using LinageOS on unrooted phones for a while, I’ve never had these issues. Not to say people out there aren’t having them, but it’s not as bleak as people seem to believe it is.

    I have one phone that’s rooted, and I have to use magisk to hide it, and that occasionally has issues, but not the non-rooted ones running custom roms.
