Hi,
A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion?
Cheers and thank you for your help,

Those are partial security patches (its not in the same ballpark as a non EOL phone).
Even non EOL phones are usually updated dangerously slow when it comes to LineageOS.
Some more sources, not sure why I’m even adding them as you seem hell bent to believe LineageOS is secure regardless of the facts.

If my device is so insecure why haven’t I been compromised? Your “facts” are only important if it promotes Graphene OS.
Lmao putting facts in quotes does not makes them less true. Figures, that when confronted with reality you would immediately start relying on logical fallacies.
Just because you are more at risk of being compromised does not mean you will be compromised. This is obvious.
You don’t have to respond if your just going to be a child about it.
