LineageOS is not “Google-free”. The OS still connects to various Google services by default, even without Google Play Services installed.

Obviously Graphene OS is the current gold standard for privacy, but you can run a Lineage OS device without Google Play Services, with only free/libre software installation sources, and without the telemetry for those users who can’t or won’t use current GOS. This is obviously a considerable improvement over a Chinese or other commercial manufacturer. But, yes, if you can run GOS rather than LOS, you should.
