The support length only makes a difference if you don't replace devices on the expected 2-3 year cycle covered by the support period. Stock Android and AOSP already have quite good security and AOSP exists as an alternative to the stock OS already.

I'm going to be spending my limited time and resources on privacy and security research, not maintaining production quality releases of AOSP including a bunch of hardening features with an extremely high maintenance burden. I would need a team of developers to share the workload.

I won't be doing any substantial work without compensation anymore, and I'll no longer be working 60-100 hour work weeks for years with no vacations. I also won't waste the majority of my time on porting, release engineering, debugging/fixing upstream bugs and other maintenance.

That means it's a hard requirement for there to be a team of developers sharing the maintenance workload, so I only need to do a small fraction of it and can focus on privacy and security hardening. There's no point of a hardened AOSP variant without compelling hardening anyway.
