I’m not sure as others why others feel this is a major change. OnePlus was always a subsidiary by Carl Pei who eventually left the brand to create a new gadgets/tech company.
Some users are concerned about the loss of bootloader unlocking options.
Its a pretty big loss for people who care about bootloader unlocking on devices. even the typically bootloader unlocking friendly companies (this includes oneplus in china at least) restricting bl unlocking, i dont know what happens next neither do i want to find out.
