LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series
Over 3 months after launch – LineageOS – the biggest and most well-known third party ROM now officially supports the entire Pixel 9 series.

I dont get why anyone would use LineageOS on a phone that new and that well supported by custom roms (GraphineOS, /e/os, etc)
True But maybe might be helpful if the phone hits EOL?
At that point using it will be less secure, the reason why GraphineOS stops supporting devices is because they focus on security. In addition the Pixel 9 will be EOL in what eight years from now? Maybe even more
Eight years, minus the few years you'd have to wait until the phone is close to affordable. And updates via LineageOS is still way better than just using a phone with no updates when it hits EOL like you normally would.
Calling the pixel 9 unaffordable when it's literally the cheapest flagship in the market.
"Flagship" is doing a lot of work here. Most people here use cheap phones. My Pixel 7 was already $300, which is a bit hard to swallow, and it was not the newest model at the moment. Pixel 9 in the same place is close to $1k now, which is completely out of reach for a lot of people including me. That is frankly an insane sum to spend on a phone.
I like lineageOS more, because GrapheneOS includes google play, even while sandboxed i don't like that
By default no, you install it later (as a sandboxed app)
yeah but i like microG and i read it isnt supported
