If you're not using a custom ROM, you're leaking info like a sieve to OnePlus. I moved to LineageOS because the default OS was sending every app you opened and when to the mothership. Even if they've stopped that, they've got every incentive to suck you dry, and you'll spend much more time fighting your OS than if you just switch to a different one.
Doesn't Google record this info already?
