No, your wrong on this.

T-Mobile validates the updates and pushes them when it is a branded device, like the TMO version of the 6t.

They can and do hold back updates and security patches.

You clearly have no idea how the process works.  Try joining the OnePlus FUT program to learn something. 

The FUT program doesn't count, that's a restricted early access program - one that hasn't seen updates in quite some time for 6t and 7 Pro on TMO. 

Tell me, do you have a TMO branded OnePlus 6t? Has it received an update more recent than September 1 2021 unlike the international versions that have already received O² OS 11?

Better than all that, are you a TMobile or OnePlus employee that can back up your claims with authority?

Again.  You have no idea what you are talking about.  The FUT program can be applied to by anyone with the device to receive alpha and beta updates and provide feedback and troubleshoot to recreate bugs and provide that feedback directly to the engineering team for that device.  I am a member of the FUT program for the 7 Pro and the 8T.  My mother scooped my 9, at least until I get another one.

Rooting your phone isn't going to get you an update that doesn't exist for your firmware.  You would need to MSM Tool to a different firmware, which is actually easier and safer than rooting. 

The fact remains...I could root my phone and have the update today, but I shouldn't need to go that far.  Be it T-Mobile or OnePlus, if I end up having to root my phone for the update I'll never buy another phone from either of them again.  Pulling stunts like this is how you lose your loyal customer base.

The 3 years of Oxygen OS updates is for devices starting with the OnePlus 8 and newer.  The 6T is already end of life. 

To be clear OnePlus has rolled out OxygenOS 11.1.1.1, the last major OS for the 6T several months ago.  T-Mobile branded phones are still running on 10.3.12, and T-Mobile has provided no timeline for if/when it will push the OTA update.  T-Mobile is the choke point here.  Also, security updates should continue to roll out periodically for the next year, albeit at a slower pace than for newer devices, so no the phone is not quite at EOL.

T-Mobile, we need an answer. The phone is supposed to get 3yrs of OS updates. Android 12 has launched and the 6T is still running OS 10. 

Completely agree.  It's one thing if you just scrubbed the Android 11 upgrade page to make way for the Android 12 page, but shame on you if you aren't actively working to update this phone to Android 11 after OnePlus made it official.  Shame on you also for leaving your customers out in the dark on the update status after the upgrade page had indicated you were in the process of updating the software to Android 11.
