My question isn't answered in there.

There are very transparent and detailed hardware requirements there.
As of today, only the pixel satisfies these requirements.
GOS is working with another OEM to meet GOS requirements on a non-pixel device.
It's looking light on the details to me. "It would be a lot of work to support other devices" is basically the entirety of it, I'm seeing no detailed hardware requirements for a phone to be a candidate except "made by google."
Understand, I'm not attacking anyone here. I will be buying a pixel and running grapheneos on it very soon. But I still wonder, when you say "only pixel satisfied these requirements" why, particularly, is that the case?
The secure element requirement eliminated 98% of all androjd devices.
Samsung is the only major OEM that sports some version of a SE.
GOS could be working either with Samsung, or some other OEM to meet all other requirements beyond the inclusion of a SE.
