so few devices are supported >?<

I don't agree with that, take a look at this:

Officially supported devices and the list of unofficial /e/ builds part1 and part2 (those might not be working as good as official builds)

I like that they offer options for people to contribute builds, as opposed to LineageOS that just says, "Your device isn't supported? Lol, that sucks, die in a fire."

No I'm serious they are not much friendlier about it than that: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/unknown/

It officially supports 250 variants including many going over a decade back. If one were to include all smartphone models/variants released during the previous decade, it won't even hit the 10 % mark.
