In this particular case, yes, but the update can still be blocked by the carrier. People have been successful in updating the device by temporarily putting the SIM from another carrier in the phone.

My daughter's Pixel 5a update, for example, was delayed but it was purchased from Google.

To be clear, the update _does_ come directly from Google but the device won't show that the update is available until the carrier gives the green light. The factory image can still be sideloaded.

The P7P is the first phone that I've not purchased outright, and that's because TMO was willing to give me a ridiculously generous offer to trade in a OnePlus 7t.

You can also just update the phone using the OTA Google provides on a page and ADB to side load it.

The OTA image worked great.
