What strategy could they have to force carriers and vendors to update the OS or force users to buy high end phones?

If Android adopted software only at rather than relying on tango he, then they could have a use base of more than 25% of phones that are high end, more than apple. Google has to move on the software only AR side and now.

Legal enforcement.

No updates in place, no access to the Play Store.

They already have to sign a contract with a set of requirements, providing updates is just yet another clause.

It would be favorable for google to have AR capabilities on their Pixel phone. They would sell their own phones more and release novel tech.

But you need developers putting apps in the app store, that's the real power behind platforms in terms of generating utility for users.
