Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google’s changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?

      Any ROM with ships a degoogled version as an option as the changes are in Google Play. So e.g. LineageOS and GrapheneOS are not affected.

      I assume any that don’t have Google Play Services, which would be those you have mentioned already plus any forks (iodéOS, for example). They would all die if they were made subject to these changes, so the fact that they aren’t panicking about it suggests they are safe for now.
