I think it is more complicated: (1) most originalists do not believe that originalism is the only possible method of interpretation and constructions, (2) some living constitutionalists do believe this, Dworkin, Bobbitt. Also, much depends on how "interpretation" is defined.

(1) Scalia and others sometimes have said that only originalism is the only method that genuinely interprets. In my opinion, this statement is approximates the truth if applied to the sense of "interpretation" specified by the interpretation/construction distinction.

(2) This is because any genuine interpretation must acknowledge that communicative content is fixed at the time of framing and ratification. See https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2559701 …
