a janky custom OS or some insanely insecure trash, and I only listen to music on my iPhone and answer calls and texts.
like why am I even bothering with flagship crap when I use like 4 basic features: listen to music, answer calls and texts, and browse the internet sometimes.

You're recommending a highly insecure OS missing the August and September Android security patches. Look at their announcements for those. They only shipped a subset of the open source patches. They're a month behind on Chromium security patches too.
It's very harmful advice.

AOSP dropped standalone SIP support in the Dialer because it was unmaintained and there are better SIP implementations available elsewhere. It's really just another example of what I said above. Adding back problematic unmaintained code removed for a reason is itself a problem.

Almost anything is better off than using a highly insecure OS months behind on security updates which misleads users about which patches are being provided and about what they provide with their OS in general. I don't think that makes sense for anyone. It's genuinely unsafe.

AOSP Dialer is not the only Dialer app available. Adding back a bunch of unmaintained code that was removed for very good reasons is exactly why the LineageOS code and approach used by CalyxOS is problematic. It's why you don't have the August and September security updates.

Stock OS or a secure build of AOSP are fine. CalyxOS substantially rolls back the security model from AOSP and falls way behind on security updates.
Purpose of GrapheneOS is substantially improving AOSP privacy and security (grapheneos.org/features), rather than making it worse.

You can use jmp.chat with Conversations and avoid SIP entirely. You can also use it with SIP but I would recommend just not using it since there are better non-SIP clients usable with a comparable service. There are better SIP clients than AOSP Dialer though.
