This is being reported poorly. This is a voluntary program that is intended for social media brand embassadors, aka, the people who go out and rep a brand. It makes sense to include some language requiring someone prepping your brand to show preferable to it.
The agreement tells participants they’re “expected to feature the Google Pixel device in place of any competitor mobile devices.” It also notes that “if it appears other brands are being preferred over the Pixel, we will need to cease the relationship between the brand and the creator.” The link to the form appears to have since been shut down.
This is some Disney Influencer-level bullshit, where they just dole out premium perks to influencers who will endlessly and exclusively positively shill their shit.

This is m3an to target “pixel influencers”. Those don’t exist. Only Apple and Samsung has does. I can’t think of a single " Google " channel. I can’t really think of any Samsung either but they do have a cult following plus eco system, so more chances of them being out there.
