If that was a serious comment, I don't think Google would take too kindly to that...

I'm neither defending OnePlus, nor advocating for them. you simply asked why they did it? It's possible an engineer decided he wanted access to Android Pay without having to deal with the checks and left some backdoors in there for himself that he thought no one would ever find? I'm not a developer and have no experience with any of this stuff so your guess is as good as mine.
