Please do not take HN threads further into nationalistic flamewar. This sort of flamebaity one-liner is exactly what the site guidelines ask you not to post, especially on divisive topics.

My bigger concern is Google in this case. No Android phone manufacturer does anywhere near as good of job at security or privacy compared to Apple. If you can’t install LineageOS (needless to say, I skip adding Google Play Services) on it, I wouldn’t feel comfortable owning it.
Good point about Google. They are by far the largest privacy and security threat on those phones. (On any Android phone actually.)
