What does the relevance of the user experience have to do with the fact that android Pie has firmly integrated gestures, and Oxygen OS is not an Android One, but its own "ROM", even if only minimal changes have taken place?
Right, nothing, the developers of Oxygen OS have to worry about how they roll out the Android Pie gestures for the 3 series, whether they let them be integrated or take them out, there will always be modifications that can have consequences on other things.
I think you should read exactly what was announced on Jun 28, 2018 in the thread "OnePlus Software Maintenance Schedule".

This means that in 4 months the last Oxygen version for OnePlus 3 and 3T will be rolled out, no matter how many bugs are in it. I hope that there will still be further updates, but if OnePlus sticks to its own support guidelines, you have to assume that nothing will happen afterwards.
There isn't one Oxygen OS version for all devices. Oxygen OS is not compatible with all OnePlus devices. Each device has its own Oxygen OS version, and each version must be adapted separately. There are bugs in the OP5 version that were never present in the OP3 version, and vice versa. They are different branches of development. The different hardware of the devices alone does not allow simple fixes from an OP6 to the OP3, which is one of the reason, there are support times, because OnePlus wants to save the extensive tests and prefers to put the energy into the new device.
Maybe you should read my post again and start to understand what I said, it's not about any bugs in LogCat, but about a new Android version putting all users back on top with enough bugs in it that are now out in Oreo.
How many beta versions were there of Oreo again and how much time did it take to get to this version that is really stable today? ~15 beta versions and 9 months have passed to get where we are with Oreo now. If you think that you will get updates for a OnePlus 3 or 3T for so long, then keep on dreaming, I would be much happier with a stable Oreo version than with a buggy Pie version.
I wrote that this is just my opinion, and nobody has to share that opinion, but you shouldn't be as condescending as you did in your post, I won't take your opinion away from you. I would be happy if it is as you hope, but only hope is not enough for me. As long as there is nothing official, the decision is just not optimal for me.
Just to understand it correctly, I'm not talking about android's security patches, but about oxygen updates. The bugs I described are not android bugs, they are bugs in the port to Oxygen. Oh and with regard to LogCat, the errors that go through there are certainly mostly irrelevant, that's the reason i didn't mention them directly, and yes, of course you are right with the statement that all operating systems have such errors, I know that too, but the difference is that some are anxious to fix them while others prefer to open new construction sites by switching to a new version.
To repeat it, it is my opinion, there is no reason to write condescendingly here.
