"Pyrrho couldn’t accept these claims, and he likely thought other Greeks wouldn’t either."
Some Greeks seem to be open to reincarnation (metempsychosis), especially in Pythagoreanism and Orphism, which were popular for some time and in some regions. Perhaps Pyrrho erred in not including metempsychosis in his explanation of what Indian gymnosophists believed in.
I don't think Pyrrho was concerned about informing the Greeks about what the Easterners thought. He appeared to be interested in advancing Philosophy. As the Greeks looked down upon the barbarians, it would be disadvantageous for Pyrrho to attribute to them wisdom that the Greeks did not already have.

At least it shows that Ancient Greeks and Hellenistics were open to the idea of rebirth.
