Custom lineage gets you all 3 feats an ASI and a half feat (Str 20) by 10th level.

Feat at first level (Custom Lineage)
Feat/ASI at Fourth Level
Feat/ASI at Sixth Level
Feat/ASI at Eighth Level

That's it. Four. Not five.

15 strength (standard array)
+2 strength (17 strength)
half feat (18 strength)
L 4: ASI (20 strength)
L 6: Feat
L 8: Feat

2 feats +1 half feat and 20 strength.

Not, 3 feats, 20 strength, and a half feat.

Unless they meant "3 feats and 20 strength, so long as one of those 3 feats is a half feat"?

Hard to tell.

Yep. You can get to 18 Strength and three feats plus a half-feat at 10th level, but that's it.

More to the point, a 10th-level build optimized till it screams does not say a great deal about balance overall. Cavalier + PAM + Sentinel is insane. With the new feat, it's a little more insane, that's all.

And again at 10th level.

Fighter remember?

I remember just fine. It's you who is misremembering. Fighters get no ASI at 10th level. The get one at 8th, and the next after that is 12th.

Ah right!

So they have to wait till 12th for Str 20 and 4 feats.

It s a pretty meaningful delay. Most campaigns don't last to level 12 or end at level 12.

If you really have a concept that requires 3 or 4 feats to come together, the best approach is to buy the DM a lot of pizza and hint about how nice a belt of giant strength would be.
