MicroG actually works on DivestOS. It is "unsupported", as-in the Dev doesnt want to put any significant time into development for Gapps support.
True, but not entirely, signature spoofing needs OS support, and LOS and divestOS don't, whereas murenaOS (/e/OS) and lineageOS for microG do. Other than that microG's own f-droid repo makes it easy to keep microG's component up to date.
That's why I mentioned it would be nice to upstream divestOS bootloader lock/unlock at will solution, so that not just LOS, but derivative ROMs can inherit that solution. As some people don't like the tight integration from murena (/e/) with all of its rebranding, LOS for microG is a very appealing option, if wanting full microG's support. Actually LOS for microG was there quite before /e/ was created.
As I said, DivestOS supports microg. It signature spoofs the latest microg release, enabled with a toggle in the settings.
