This way one gets security updates the fastest, official OS releases tend to be the most stable and since the custom OS landscape either died out or because I got more picky, the choices don't seem all too appealing. Debloating and -googling is also faster.
As to "Why not iodé?" It seems nice, if you have the time, give it a try! qol features like integrated ad-blocking seem really nice! I, for my part, would want to go all in. By that I mean when I flash a custom OS I'd go through the hassle of also rooting and installing XPosed Framework/LSposed whatever (if it's not dead, yet) plus whatever packages I find intriguing. And even though this sounds quite fun, I just don't have the time for all that.
