LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
Lineage is more about convenience and longevity rather than security and privacy. As another commenter said, Graphene is most suitable for this task if it's a major concern.
Take a random device like Google Pixel [1] it runs on a 4.4 kernel, long outdated and no longer maintained by Google. You can explore the code [2] however you are not going to be getting critical security updates (such as those issued by Qualcommm or any closed source blobs/firmware etc).
Lineage is more about 'hacking' a kernel and making it work with the latest AOSP when the official software support ends. It's more vulnerable to exploits than a continuously supported device (although even devices that are 'in support' by the OEMs can often be depressingly behind things like patches etc).
Google is trying to fix this within the ecosystem (GKI etc) but at least as far as custom ROMs go...yeah, don't store state secrets on such a device ;)

[Help] Moto G Pure OEM Debugging.
You're probably not going to be able to unlock the bootloader through official channels with that being a carrier phone. On the Motorola developer site you'll probably be told that your device doesn't qualify. If that's the case you can still unlock the bootloader using mtkclient. Check it out at https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient There's easy enough installation instructions and and a step by step on how to unlock and root your mtk phone.

TCL 10 SE Any root tutorials?
You could use emulators if they cover your needs. But you have mtkclient, however no warrants it will work.

Help rooting an "Obscure" phone
I bet you have a mediatek chip (because Infinix, to my knowledge, never ever ever puts snapdragon SoCs). You could use mtkclient to root it, and I am pretty sure it already has the files necessary to obtain access to the phone.

That being said... try mtkclient. Can it work? Yes, I don't know of changes to the Oppo kernel regarding root perms. Will it work? No warrants.
