Actually if you link popular software with a hardened memory allocator, apps will just crash a lot instead of allowing buffer overflows that are shockingly common.
YOLO mallocs most operating systems ship allow an application to -feel- faster and more stable at the expense of security.
If you want software to be stable in a strict malloc environment, write it in rust :)
To be fair though, LineageOS security is actually terrible. Do not use it. If you must have an Android device CalyxOS is the least bad option today.
