Actually LineageOS has less usability due to AOSP bugs, no GMS, unlocked boot loader, etc. The weak security is cost of wide support.

Could you explain how the ability to unlock a bootloader makes a device less usable?
I think they are referring to that LineageOS by and large (there are probably exceptions) does not have support for relocking the bootloader. Some apps refuse to work with an unlocked bootloader (but there are ways around it).
GrapheneOS has even less usability on my Oneplus 7T Pro, in fact it has none
i'm fine with that "less security" as my threat model does not include crossing the US border.
You're conflating local data extraction with security vulnerabilities remotely exploitable via WhatsApp or RCE du jour. Don't.
