I assume it not completely locked down, but does it mean Google doesn't have access to everything like I assume it does with Android?

It is okay for privacy, especially if you dont have google app installed, but it is not security and privacy focused.

If you have google app installed I imagine it is probably as private as stock os on a pixel, but less secure. Graphene/calyx will definitely have better security and privacy than lineage with or without gapps.

But I understand there is other tradeoffs besides just security and privacy, like minimizng ewaste, cost, availability, etc.
