I'm talking about your average Android, not GrapheneOS which is atypical and represent pretty much nothing worldwide.
> you don't trust the manufacturer or if the manufacturer doesn't update the OS frequently enough, then I guess you should look for another manufacturer.
The only manufacturers in the world publishing device trees nowadays must be Fairphone and OnePlus because even Google stopped releasing them with the last Pixel. So here you go, you I gave you the entire list of manufacturers (two) for which to my knowledge secure boot provides some value to the phone owner (some others might exist), I'm willing to include GrapheneOS as a third case where it makes sense even if it's not the stock OS.
And the only rom in the world being updated on time is also GrapheneOS (yes, even Pixels still have delays)

You say correct things, but you make wrong conclusions. Secure boot does provide value to the phone owner, period. Not against the manufacturer, but there is pretty much nothing consumers can do against the manufacturer except trusting it.
