"PixelOS is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies. We aim to provide an experience similar to Google Pixel phones with numerous performance enhancements and a small amount of useful additional features."

Was this not on the front page when you looked?

Yes, but it doesn't really make that clear. I first thought that it was a replacement OS for Google Pixel phone which replicates the functionality of the original OS but adds enhancements and features.

This is exactly what was on the front page when I looked, and I was confused as well. I own a Pixel device and have replaced the original OS with Lineage in order to get rid of some of Googles more aggressive behavior, like pushing Google Wallet in front of my face through notifications. I thought the intention for this ROM might be to get back some of the original Pixel OS functionality.

Classic engineering communication error.

It doesn't help that GrapheneOS _only_ works on Pixel phones (and also doesn't mention this on their homepage).

At no point do they specify for whom they intend to provide this experience.
