FAQ omits the most basic motivation for choosing this ROM #2

The current FAQ in answer to the question “Why do we need a custom build of LineageOS to have microG? Can't I install microG on the official LineageOS?” gives three clumsy arguments that overlook the ultimate advantage of this ROM. 
Just trying to install MicroG on vanilla LineageOS is enough to realize the flaw in this approach: without GmsCore.apk in /system/priv-app/GmsCore/ geolocation won't work!

In other words, even having Signature Spoofing, the user still need root to bring LineageOS in line with LOS for MicroG. But that means he/she must either manually modify /system and thus forget about automated OTAs, or opt for one of those short-lived Magisk-modules that are abandoned by their developers quicker than cats are born. But who needs all that when there is LOS for MicroG?
