        Only because those are the phones most consistently open to modification

            You mean the Tensor chips that don’t appear until 6th gen, even though the project supports 5th and 4th gen?

            They also literally state:

            Devices need to be meeting the standards of the project in order to be considered as potential targets. In addition to support for installing other operating systems…

            And

            Devices with support for alternative operating systems as an afterthought will not be considered.

            This pretty much rules out 99% of smartphones. I would argue this even rules out non-Pixel favourites such as the OnePlus lineup, even though I’m writing this on a Lineage-loaded OnePlus 7T. Support for other ROMs is there but it’s quite fucky. Add in what you said about firmware support and yeah, only the Pixel lineup would apply.
