Everyone that cares about security or privacy is working on custom android ROMs since there is no actual benefit to Apple hardware or software at this point in history. Plus you save money buying a Pixel device.
Not everyone. Depending where you live there’s no devices available that are compatible with secure custom ROMs (you might be able to deGoogle, but that’s different from being secure).
Your security doesn’t just depend on what flavour of AOSP you decide to use. I’m assuming you’re referring to GrapheneOS, which is only compatible with Pixel devices. Your threat model is also highly relevant. Depending on who you are and what you do, you can be secure on say LineageOS, which will run on a large variety of devices.
Damn…
So the dream is dead?
