I can't speak for the others, but I know that there are hardware security features GOS requires that aren't present in non-Pixel phones. It's not so much that they don't want to work in other hardware, but that they don't want to lower their security standards to do so.

    I think "push other phone OEM's" here mostly means to encourage these OEMs to make devices that are compatible with these altenative operating systems. In the case of GrapheneOS, that means a device with the necessary security hardware components.
