It's about everything, that's the point
I don't see how that would help in any way to secure the device if you don't trust Apple.
You either trust a company or you don't. There is no grey area. If you don't control the whole thing, you don't control anything at all. A custom ROM on your Android device is not going to do anything to prevent a firmware or hardware level backdoor. Your custom ROM doesn't improve security, on the contrary. If you unlock the bootloader you break the chain of trust and all bets are off.
