I homebrew the ROM on my personal phone and I can tell you from first hand experience that you need the vendor dirs extracted from the OEM ROM. You can read up on that on the wiki pages for building any device ROM.
You can also come to that conclusion the other way around: How else would you (or LOS maintainers) get your hands on proprietary blobs full of secret sauce that vendors sometimes even try to actively block access to?
Yeah this is a good point. Tbh I wish there was right to repair legislation around this. If you're not going to maintain it, you should be required to open source it, and you're not allowed to brick people's devices as a workaround.
Nothing is keeping apple from dropping support in the same way, I'm kinda surprised how long they maintain support.
