My Pixel 4a has LineageOS on it, and is installing an update from two days ago right now.

Sure, the general OS is getting security updates but hardware-specific updates have stopped.

That's true, but hardware drivers are a much smaller attack surface area.

Fair, but I meant updates from the original manufacturer.

It is unfortunate that manufacturers, Google, and app makers have all engaged in behaviors that make running a third-party OS less viable for most people.
