I wouldn't be so sure to blame the OEM. Read this article [0]. Google dismissed a support ticket claiming that the OCR text selection feature was available only to Pixel devices released after 2017.
The Android Pie page [1] advertises the feature here as a standard Android feature under the system usability enhancements section.
This feature was actually available to all devices before the Google Assistant was released via a feature called Google Now on Tap.
