    That answer is at best only partially right.

    The real answer is that Pixels were, until very recently, Google’s officially supported reference hardware in AOSP while everything else is a community port of some GPL compliance source code dump.

    Community ROMs are Pixel first because Pixels just work.

    It’ll change now that Google decided to no longer release Pixel adaptions directly as AOSP and the community will have to port that the same way as for any other vendor, especially if a vendor decides to maintain their adaptions in LineageOS.
