For a lay person, can someone elaborate how does a custom ROM like Lineage OS fare compared to eOS? Can it de de-Googled to the same extent? Or never.

e/OS *is* LineageOS de-Googled.

Nothing short of source code changes can achieve some of the de-Googling.

The LineageOS developers made a specific and deliberate decision to *not* do this.

What do you mean exactly? Lineage OS doesn't come with google play services or the like. It is "de-googled".

There are still tons of Google connections similar with /e/. If you want a fully degoogled android use GrapheneOS
