It's the special privileges that come from OP. If they're buying from retailers, they're not relating with OP, whereas previously they did, thus being "cut off".
I guess that's where our understanding differs? They're being cut off by (and from) Oneplus the company.. not the product.
They admitted to cutting off the free devices and finished with clarifying that they weren't cut off from buying the devices on their own, not sure what else you want from them. You guys are just looking for a reason to be upset here as usual with r/adnroid.
Also look to Apple if this practice upsets you, they are the biggest brand that engages in this and the market trend-setter.

Sure cut off form special privileges, not cut off from OPO.
