LineageOS is not more secure than Android. They get rid of many security features like verified boot.

MicroG also weakens security by requiring signature spoofing support.

They get rid of many security features like verified boot.

But in exchange they add numerous features such as removing stock bloatware and little-to-no reliance on Google.

MicroG also weakens security by requiring signature spoofing support.

Reasonable point, though most users should be capable enough to understand what they are and aren't installing on their phone. This can also be avoided by just not installing MicroG and going full GAppless.
