Everyone that cares about security or privacy is working on custom android ROMs since there is no actual benefit to Apple hardware or software at this point in history. Plus you save money buying a Pixel device.
Not everyone. Depending where you live there’s no devices available that are compatible with secure custom ROMs (you might be able to deGoogle, but that’s different from being secure).
Google is doing their best to strangle those too, by only releasing their source code when a new major Android release comes out. Custom ROM developers then have to rebase and integrate several months of commits all at once, with nowhere near enough time or resources to actually vet more than a tiny fraction of the changes.
