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.
It's weird to group two Linux OSs with an Android OS anyway. One is focused on security, while the others are focused on introducing another type of mobile OS into the market.
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.
