A custom ROM allows you to extend the life of your Android phone, but does it come with risks in 2024 and why isn't it more popular?

I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

    well, I totally could live without it. Its just nice to have in case I don’t have my card/cash as a last resort kind of thing. all I do is add the magisk patch, and add shamiko, keep it somewhat updated, and it’ll work 99% of the time I use it. As for google, they probably do this to reduce liability on their end if something does happen. I haven’t heard of any issues from anyone so far.
