How is LineageOS without all the Google spyware not significantly different from a regular Google Android phone, of which you in the US at least cannot even unlock the bootloader of, let alone install an official Lineage OS port? Also, this is a $300 device, not a $1000 one. Just because you can buy a Pixel and, if you make sure you buy the correct one at least, can unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM if you have the skills and knowledge (and time) to do so, does not make this phone a "scam".
