Number one - yes, the Google Maps IS an insane Resource hog. I think its way too bloated for what people actually use it for. Older phones especially (Snapdragon 820 or older) really struggle to run it smoothly for prolonged and with newer devices it really eats away battery.
Number two - what I suspect is going on is Oneplus' artificial throttling of certain apps. Basically, starting with Android 11 OxygenOS has hardcoded a list of Apps that get slowed down by up to 70% for "battery saving meassures" without telling the user. I wouldn't be shocked if that included Maps. Here is a video showing you how to dissable it : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FH-MY9XK2Cs
