How do you do if you need for work to use Google products? I would love to use alternative OS, but I cannot because of my job
Google services are not installed by default but you can install the play store and other google apps from the built in app store if you need them. The only thing I am lacking from stock is google pay because I haven't installed any google services but I'm fine with that trade off.
The built-in anti tracking and privacy features a very nice
Lineage OS can work with Google services. Probably others too. But beware that unlocking the bootloader to install anything may disable some security
You unlock during the e os install but it makes you relock after. Not aware of any additional security issues using this process
