At that point why would I go for the trouble of installing custom rom though?

Besides what sibling said, and lack of bloatware, I find LineageOS to simply be better than original ROMs. Just using vol up/down to move the cursor is already a godsend for me.

I’ve also been using CyanogenMod/LineageOS since my first android (HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2, damn do I miss that full keyboard) and it’s great to be able to always use the same OS.

Because you can choose how many of them you want. None, only the Play Store or the whole shebang.
