Vent: tired of guys insisting on full plywood subfloor when OSB is fine

Just did a 1,200 square foot basement in Portland with AdvanTech OSB and it's dead flat after 3 months of humidity. Why do people still pay double for plywood when the engineered stuff actually performs better in moisture?

Wait, are these the same people who think pressure treated lumber belongs indoors too? Genuinely curious what their reasoning is when the zip system stuff literally has a warranty for this exact climate.

Heard a drywall guy say OSB is just "glued together sawdust"... but the stuff's come a long way...
