#2So is it time to buy a phone instead of my OnePlus One as it won't be updated anymore?

#3Who's going to make sure LineageOS users get security updates in a timely manner? Is anyone going to be paid to work on it?
Any large OSS distribution is going to have a fairly continuous stream of security fixes to ship to their users, and that takes a fair amount of time, and I'm always concerned about whether any new project (okay—it's not quite new, but they have a fraction of the number of developers they did twelve months ago!) has the resources to ship them in a timely way.

OnePlus (One) hasn't been really updated well at all, Both Cyanogen and Oxygen OS builds were late and filled with problems.
That was true pretty much out of the gate.
The newer phones come with Oxygen OS or w/e they call it now and at least get some sort of periodic update.

#6The question is what will ensure the continual non-profitness of lineageOS?
The problem is two fold:
1. Get maintainers. 2. Make sure that the high ranking individuals can't just "take the ball and go home", and (however unpopular this opinion may be here), GPL is the only way to ensure that they will never be able to sell out ever again.
And especially after the CM/CyanogenOS/Focal/Paranoid Android situation, private ROMs seem to be too much of an "aquihire" risk.

Although I do understand the PA devs, as they _do_ need to get paid, and Android OS dev is not easy,

Rolls better than cyanogenmod, which was always hard for regular folk.
