5-7years of security updates.

Now that is the real deal!

That's just the same support window that google provides for the pixels though

It is. And that's why its the best choice to run GrapheneOS, you get full 7 year support in a non Google OS. Other OSs exist but Graphene is on par with the major player

My point being that they only provide a long support window because that's how long the manufacturer provides firmware and driver support for. They do offer a few extra updates for older unsupported devices but:

We provide extended support releases as a stopgap for users to transition to the far more secure current generation devices.

But lineageOS or /e/OS may not provide the 7 years for pixel. Because it is still effort to maintain an offshoot even if you have source code.

Good point
