And some applications still refuse to launch on it, preferring an outdated version of Android because Google does not send its security updates after 3 years.
How do I get one with it preinstalled?
Put simply, you don’t. If your phone is supported and the documentation is there, the installation is a breeze.
No. If it was easy to install then there would be a installation guide on the phone. Not even a installation program available on the computer to assist.
There is OpenAndroidInstaller which looks great, but is still in Beta so I’m not sure if I would use it.
This is 100% unofficial. Phone makers don’t want you to install third party roms (they cease having any control, won’t receive analytics, can’t push ads etc). Why should they help you out? They’ll do the bare minimum (or less) that is required for you, the owner, to be able to use third party roms.
I’ve changed thanks to not having any update on my Moto G7 Power since 2021.
Will be +1 when have official support for the poco X5 pro. (If I can pay with mobile)

(If I can pay with mobile)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but so long as you root with Magisk and configure the denylist, installing the SafetyNet Fix and changing the Props if you need to spoof a device ID, then you’ll always be able to use Google Pay/contactless, regardless of whether on Lineage or another custom ROM.
How did they measure this?
I don’t know the exact modus operandi, but usually this is achieved by using some “phone home” mechanism which sends a device identifier (to ensure uniqueness) along with an OS version (and maybe some other fingerprints to ensure integrity of the data - like a hash of CPU hardware, etc).
