plugged into a power bank, the phone thrashes plugged with the second but not the first one

The #grapheneos IRC/Matrix channel is largely a place to help people debug issues with their USB cables, ports and OS drivers. I'm convinced that most things with USB-C are broken. People have trouble believing that the brand new cable they got from Amazon is the problem though.

I may or may not have paid $60 to a service center to fail to fix for several days what might have been a cable issue
(in fairness, the first time they "fixed" my phone it no longer enumerated at all...)

in the end I solved the problem by switching to blueline, which I suppose is one way to do it.

If people are following the instructions correctly, the remaining issues are almost entirely USB related. Most problems are solved by people using a better cable or different ports on their computer. Some laptops seem to have half ports broken, or at least all USB-C broken.

how is it that other ROMs like lineageos doesn't have USB issues?

The broken cables, ports, etc. don't work any better for flashing the stock OS. It's not anything to do with GrapheneOS specifically. It's not something specific to flashing GrapheneOS either. It's an issue with the USB-C ecosystem in general. It's all around terrible / broken.
