I am not well versed in the topic, but as far as I understood Lineage OS has a strong policy not to circumvent security measures in Android. Liked from microG FAQ https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/195284 https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_... Apparently one of the given motivation from Lineage OS is that it can break API compatibility, I am definitely far away from my competence so I won't try to summarize more.

I think the reason is because LineageOS is listed as an approved Google ROM which passes the safetynet tests that google added to block custom roms. Some apps use safetynet to block users who have higher levels of access to their system. Allowing microg to work would put the google tick of approval at risk.
