I use lineage. The second image is highly accurate. In the old days we'd have a dozen different roms per device, and just as many workarounds for device integrity nonsense.
And the roms actually added features and customizability. Now you're lucky to get an AOSP fork that will boot without issues, which is all Lineage really is anymore.
Now safety razors are actually the massive innovation of convenience, accessibility and low cost. While the industry moved onto cramming more and more redundant blades into their proprietary plastic cartridges while charing a 2000% markup.
I don't know how that analogy extends to phones but I'm not looking forward to that inevitable future.
