I assume it not completely locked down, but does it mean Google doesn’t have access to everything like I assume it does with Android?

    You can’t rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it’s in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

    Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

    Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.
