OnePlus rejected the Dex (AKA desktop mode) because they believe that most users focus on file transfer and controlling the phone when connected to a PC. The company does not want to globally include a call recording feature due to the risk of falling afoul of local user privacy and legal requirements.
OnePlus hasn’t confirmed when they will bring all the features to OxygenOS.
