It might be important to mention, that Lineage OS is available on a number of the devices abandoned by their original vendors, so sometimes it may be a much better solution to get a Lineage OS onto their former "flagship" which stopped getting updates 18 months after the release.

So if the bootloader can be relocked and not passing Play Integrity scam is not a problem, Lineage may be a better option. Better than nothing, that is.

Just yesterday I took an old Motorola smartphone from 8 years ago (Android 9) and put LineageOS on it.

Poof, it's transformed from unusually-glitchy e-waste to a tool someone can actually benefit from.

> So if the bootloader can be relocked

Their website says they recommend against that and will not support it, because of a high chance the device will get bricked. :(
