(Assuming you're not talking about underground service pipes...)
Can you get push fit connectors for gas use with copper pipe? I vaguely
thought that I've seen some?
Some of the fittings that look like they are push fit are actually
crimped/pressed on.
I also thought they were push fit the first time I saw them. Maybe that
is what you have seen.
an example of them here

You can get push fit connectors for compressed air and I presume that
they would work with natural gas but are not allowed because of the fire
risks.
