Us supporting other devices is the wrong paradigm, the correct paradigm is why they don't offer the level of hardware and support Pixels do as a baseline to support us.
Take Samsung as the example, their hardware does indeed come close. However upon unlocking the bootloader to be able to flash an alternate OS Knox blows an efuse disabling their security specific hardware as well as crippling other functionality, making it useless even if you reflash stock.
We would support more than Pixels if there were Android devices other than Pixels meeting basic security requirements with proper alternate OS support. Unfortunately there are currently no other devices for us to support since we won't support insecure ones.
