It's boggling there has been no official word from Cyanogen Inc on why this happened. I never liked the OnePlus marketing or press, plus I had a OnePlus One with that terrible grounding/touchscreen crazy issue.

Just judging from OnePlus's support, I have a feeling Cyanogen was getting sick of them too. I'm sure there's much more to their fallout than what's been made available. Considering my experience with OnePlus's product, I'd probably side more with Cyanogen.

There was a lot of controversy in the open source community about Cyanogen's partnership with Microsoft. It seemed like good idea when you think of Microsoft pushing more Android products and their internal divisions trying to break away from their own failing phone market. But I guess that effort failed as well. Did they ever release any phones with CyanogenOS + Cortana?
