In Europe the most popular smartphone brand is Samsung.
Lineage supports basically all of their models.
Also: Nexus support is not bad
Nexus 6 and 6p are supported

They even support all my Xiaomi devices, including a very old Mi pad second edition.
It's probably the OS that actively supports more devices in existence right now.
iOS doesn't even support all the iPhones.
The devices link you included links to legacy builds/devices that are discontinued. The only Google phones currently supported on LineageOS are the Nexus 6 and Pixel 1/1XL. As another data point, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 have no active support either while the S4 and S5 do.

Apple's upcoming iOS version -- not just current, but the one that's not even released yet -- supports all iPhones released in the last 5 years. There's just no comparison.
Exactly.
One supports just a few devices, the other supports hundreds.
One is free, the other is not.
Guess which is which.
if Nexus 6P is not supported is Google's fault
Nexus 6P was a bad phone, with sever problems, it was discontinued after a year and you could obtain a compensation if you had one that was faulty.
Still the community tried to support it
They decided wasn't worth anymore
The community is people, Apple is not people.
