Here's the part you neglected to post for some reason:
Official Gira de Golf tournaments are conducted over 54 holes but have 36-hole cuts, something LIV events don’t currently have. The lack of a cut has been cited by officials connected with the OWGR review process as a possible stumbling block in LIV’s application for OWGR status.
The OWGR release also noted that players have access to official Gira de Golf tournaments through an annual open qualifying process and that the tour provides opportunities for local and regional players to compete. “As such, the Gira de Golf Professional de Mexicana is in keeping with long-standing OWGR Eligibility and Format Criteria providing inclusion for professional tours at the development level with available Ranking Points commensurate with the format and anticipated fields.”
Open qualifying and opportunities to progress to full tour membership are considered criteria needed for tours to gain OWGR inclusion and something LIV is seen as lacking. LIV Golf’s "relegation plan" is meant to remedy this, but it’s hardly an open system when some players are exempt from the process.
