That's actually one of the best parts.
Not for the ones on the receiving end.

The requirements are monstrous: 300GB storage, 32GB RAM. My everyday working laptop has a 240GB SSD. I've build the kernel, Firefox, and the heaviest packages which I use from sources with a fraction of those resources.
I can't even fathom what the build system is doing in order to require this amount of storage.

A large number of 17 year old repositories, prebuilt toolchains, and the fact that you otherwise have every little bit of source code, intermediary results, and output to create a full operating system all in the same place.
As for the memory, the very first step (that basically already is the benchmark for the most memory usage) is loading the entire build tree and generating build steps. Yes, that takes 32GB of RAM, if not 64GB nowadays.
Any way to get this to run in a VM? Or should I give up and buy a phone that can handle it and use it through remote desktop tools?
There is a guide on how to set up LineageOS for libvirt (i.e. QEMU) [1], but there exist no prebuilt images at this point in time.
Note, GrapheneOS seems to have been able to secure partner access to Android early security releases, but this comes with the cost that the source used to make these special "01" builds is private until general availability. This might not be a tradeoff that LineageOS is willing to take; GrapheneOS has provided the option on a recommended opt-in basis.

As far as I have heard they have not actually secured partner access for themselves, they just got someone who has access to break their NDA.

The cask has not been majorly updated in almost 10 years years and is used to connect to a mobile app that hasn't been on the Play Store for almost 5 years, while easily underneath the minimum threshold of downloads for being removed. What's wrong with asking to expedite the removal process, considering the process is detailed in the guidelines?

Asking is one thing, the other thing is not accepting the decision of a maintainer on a topic that is at the maintainers discretion and instead taking it to social media [1] [2] for it to be brigaded.
Addendum: It additionally appears that this was filed before the browser was even launched, if the Wayback Machine and their social media posts are anything to go by.

I was excited for a new Helium browser release and it just turns out that people these days don’t even do a single google search before using a name that is already taken.
Couldn't try to (together with Theo / t3) bully the Homebrew developers into a forced takeover of a package [1] if it were a conflict-free name.

My main complain by far to LineageOS is the necessity to wipe everything for major releases on my S10. That's not possible every year.
What about Graphene ? Can I get 5 years of updates without needing to wipe the phone ?

Are you sure that you are not just misinterpreting the upgrade instructions?
For the S10 a mandatory wipe-on-upgrade has last been the case when upgrading from versions _older than LineageOS 21.0_.
During the time where LineageOS 20 was the current version there was no requirement to wipe listed at all, so presumably it didn't exist then.
