Please don't spread misinformation. Google didn't cut security updates. You can still get monthly security updates on Custom ROMs.
Also it's just on certified devices
it's not misinformation, you weird little google fanboy.
which is every single major western brand that operates outside of china, and even some that are for that market specifically. you would know that if you had, I don't know, actually looked at the list of certified devices on google's own website.

They're not releasing the list of vulnerabilities each month but instead doing it quarterly, so how are custom ROM devs supposed to patch vulnerabilities if google isn't reporting them to manufacturers and developers like they've done for over a decade now?
"Android Security Bulletins will still be released, and picked to all supported LineageOS versions monthly." LineageOS
