Custom ROMs are not dead, stock ROM just got better these days.
Back on the old days, where people really want to get rid of Samsung's Lagwhiz because of horrible optimization. It was unstable, has a bunch of bloatwares and skin heavy. Other people also wanted more features and customizations.
The very popular custom ROM named "CyanogenMod" offered more stability and regular updates(there were other good roms too). It was not perfect, but it has less bugs compared to stock.
But fast forward on 2017 and beyond. The flashing community became less.

Why do applications read Clipboard? (Real concerns)
I've looked into « Trust » settings of my ROM (LineageOS 16) and discovered that many applications often read the clipboard.
Applications like Fiverr, Audible, AliExpress, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram X, Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, Viber, Xbox, and so on.

I feel a Pixel 5 with a SD 855/845 would've been a good decision over the 765G!
Yes, I feel the above would've been a good decision and I guess even align with Google's cost/economical goals.
765G doesn't disappoint but isn't any better too than the old flagship SOCs (apart from serving vague 5G agendas)
