I too was wondering why LineageOS's forks were being discussed but not LineageOS itself, I assumed the author had made some remarks on it but after reading the article it seems the author made no attempts to explain why forks of LineageOS were chosen over itself. I'm all in for android forks, I strongly believe improvements in such forks can be up-streamed for the benefit of the entire ecosystem but I'm yet to see a valid justification for recommending something other than LineageOS for someone new to aftermarket android scene.
