Will it effect free custom ROMs like lineage?
Not directly, but they've been making other moves to make life difficult for such users — such as significantly delaying releasing the open source parts they're supposed to, potentially leaving users on insecure versions for far longer.
Also things like trusted computing preventing things like banking apps from running on rooted OS
Its being pushed through the play services, so anything ROM based on AOSP without google will be unaffected.
