Imho it’s marketing. The game is bad, writing is bad, gameplay is boring after a while, it seems (except for technical optimization) the game itself is a big mobile game. The “woke criticism” is exploited by ea to sell more, since it create engagement and hide the real flaws of the game
Try with LineageOS4MicroG docker image (you can build a stock LOS with that). Anyway after the first time next builds should be faster. The biggest problem will be compatibility, probably the new LOS you build will be incompatible with the older kernel version built for your device, and you will have to (at least) fix some bugs and find some workaround
