I'm not who you replied to but can you please do? I've been wanting to make a LineageOS device for a while but was being cheap (and it wasn't high enough priority). But maybe now there will be a lot of cheap Pixel 4a on eBay in the near future and I'll go for it.

Just be careful that you do not get anything sold by Verizon, as these unfortunates do not allow bootloader unlocking.

I also remember some rumor that all Pixels must access WiFi before they will allow bootloader unlocking in the developer options.
