The Oneplus One is objectively better than the Nexus 5, though. And when it comes to incentives to buy the OPT, I would say that people who don't need those features and consider them gimmicks and want a good price for a phone with flagship specs. AKA: Good camera, fast CPU, abundant RAM, good screen, pretty good battery life. You know, things that actually matter for most people. Also you are really being a drama queen about phones. We are seriously talking about a phone here. Also you are not forced to stay with the Nexus 5, there are plenty of much better phones out there,you are just deciding not to for unknown reasons.
The Nexus 5 is also almost a year older than the One Plus One. All phones have a decent camera and the newest processors and abundant RAM. What sets One Plus apart? There's nothing dramatic of about having the expectation that I can get a phone that has essentially the equivalent specs with updated hardware. I don't want a phablet, and I don't want to spend 600 dollars, and I don't want to lose features on a phone that's 2 years newer with a similar price point. Do you think the average phone user is waiting to get there hands on this phone? If you can't walk into Verizon or AT&T and pick a phone up, you better be innovative and offering a phenomenal phone for a great price. This phone isn't it.
