Correct.
Right now any brands can charge at a CCS1 compatible Tesla Supercharger called Magic Dock.
You are right that you don't need an OEM "deal" to access Supercharger.
But That's a very limited access because there are only 2 Magic Docks in California and sporadic few in the US.
The "deal" is for access to more than 15,000 Supercharger, it's SDK for your car's own app, navigation and billing system.
If Tesla didn't offer a deal, it would be harder for OEM to switch, especially the Federal standard is CCS1.
OEM takes the deal because it benefits them: those software costs money, those infrastructure cost money but they got the deal for free.
Tesla could open to individual as Magic Dock but the process would be slow. Very few OEM drivers have downloaded Tesla app. With the deal, they don't need to. If you are a Ford, suddenly, millions of Ford owners have NASC option in their own Ford app.

Woohoo! The beginning of decluttering of EA charging stations
It’s going to be a weird day if the word Lucid ever appears on a Tesla website. I can see Elon leaving that off, even after we get access.

It's the Bolts and ID.4s that I'd like to see migrate to Tesla stalls.Woohoo! The beginning of decluttering of EA charging stations
That’s from the Tesla app. Apparently, with the right adapter, it’ll work now. I don’t know if anybody has tried it yet, though.

I read that Ford's adapter was made by Tesla. It makes sense for the protection of Tesla's charging equipment. Wouldn't want to try that GOMVEE adapter from Amazon at these voltage and power levels.
Right now Ford has access with GM, Volvo, Polestar, and Rivian to follow in the Spring. Looks like Lucid will take a little longer to integrate.
They already officially announced it would be Q1 2025.

And it may be a bit sooner if the Gravity is released this year.
For those that have almost 25 min to spare, see the below video to see the process. I scanned it, and my major takeaway that it was VERY fast to handshake and start charging. No more EA dance to check and double check that charging is working! I'd honestly only every use this if I were roadtripping.

25 seconds is comparable to EA

I'll time it the next time, if 25 seconds is the handshake it's not much better honestly
