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?

    AOSP allows sideloading.

    It’s only* phones with Google Services that will have the signing issue.

    Even if Google decides to include the functionality in AOSP, anyone who compiles it themselves can leave it out (Graphene, Lineage).

      I understand. Graphene seems like the best place to invest. It’s a shame they are available on so few devices.
