OSE deliberately uses FreeCAD 16 legacy, which can be downloaded as a FreeCAD 16 Appimage on Linux.
FreeCAD 16 has a simpler workflow with an uncluttered part tree. It is not the most current version, but supports all of OSE workflow, such as Merge Workflow for large scale collaboration.
There is also a practical philosophy to not using advanced features - as it creates more responsible design by not using automated constraints. See more at Merge_Workflow#Philosophical_Point.
