Graphene only supports Pixels officially because of how easily you can unlock the bootloader
it's because of the Titan M chip, not because of ease of bootloader unlocking. Pixel's have much higher hardware security with only iPhones and their secure enclave matching it afaik.
That's not the only reason, you can also unlock the bootloader of a FairPhone very easily and they're still not supported.
