According to this 2018 document Singapore is also an OSS country and a few countries (Hong Kong, Israel, Serbia and Japan) are in negotiations with EU regarding OSS. If Fraport wants to make it easier for passengers they could turn half of non-Schengen B concourse into a clean non-Schengen arrival area. Passengers terminating in FRA can go through one-way doors into transfer/arrival area as they do now while transfer passengers can go through passport control into Schengen B (currently one-way only Schengen > non-S) or be taken to Z by bus. This should take care of arriving passengers from the UK, Ireland, Canada, Singapore (SQ flights), US and Japan (NH flights) once it is added to the OSS country list. I suspect Fraport is more interested in keeping security personnel employed than making things easier for passengers.
