Looking for a phone that doesn't follow recent trends

I am generally dissatisfied with my phone options today. I want a phone that meets these requirements:

microSD card slot

3.5mm headphone jack

Unlockable bootloader without having to ask the manufacturer (i.e. fastboot oem unlock)

Either LineageOS support or Android 8+

Screen smaller than 6" (preferably smaller than 5.5")

I'd also prefer not to have a notch but it's not a dealbreaker. I don't really care much about having the thinnest phone, or the biggest screen, etc. I'd much prefer having more control over my device and the way I use it.

Does such a phone exist, or do I have my standards too high? I haven't seen a phone like this that came out 2017 or later.
