... you'll not need only new phone, but new wireless headphones that have new DAC in them capable decoding the proprietary format.
Yet wired ones work with all these fancy high bit rates "out of the box"

Yep. My 4 year old phone doesn't even support ANY AptX codec. And you can bet no older equipment can or will be upgraded. And my 1 year old highest-end Sony wireless headphones also won't support this new lossless AptX.
Everything supports SBC (since it is old and required) and it does suck. But lossless AptX vs. any lossy AptX- I suspect nobody will know any difference in quality.

LineageOS 16 had? a feature to make SBC sound better than AptX by tweaking codec parameters and pushing more data.

Wow, that is interesting. I didn't know that was possible and be compatible with existing devices (headphones, etc).
The site they reference for real-time comparison is really neat:
