They will still be using the Tesla plug, so he already won not having to change out the existing network plugs.

The cords are too short for most non-Tesla vehicles and I don't believe all stations can speak CCS, so they will still have to do some updates

The placement is also specifically optimised for Tesla vehicles, so they would need to change things up to accommodate non-Tesla ones.
