Lineage runs on a lot more phones. It’s nit as secure as Graphene, but arguably more secure than what a phone ships with.

Lineage OS doesn’t even officially support Re-Locking of bootloader under custom keys, so it could be easily tampered with, and they also lack all the hardening that Graphene OS have.
