Where's the love for Motorola? (self.linuxphones)

With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I've been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?

Maybe later it did. At launch it was just 16GB and that's what my wife got. I heard they came out with a 32GB version later.

I can say what I can say now because hindsight is 20/20 but I also lived through those days, so I can also say what I experienced.
