I buy the phone for the os these days.
It does mean getting a used phone from back a few years.
I think newer phones seem to make it harder maybe even impossible to unlock the bootloader.
I use a sony xa2 (2018) and it’s only possible because sony still has a service to issue unlock codes for it. I think if sony turns that service off, then no more lineage os unless you already unlocked it.
Unfortunately still no support for my phone.
