Of course not, /e/OS itself isn’t optimally safe either (they aim for maximum compatibility, so most phones can’t even relock the bootloader). But it’s way, WAY better than a completely unpatched phone from years ago. Not to mention /e/OS gets rid of all the Google spyware in a user-friendly way, and the newer Android makes sure you don’t run into compatibility issues.
