So again, you are the one actually being extreme. I've played tons of poker, and only ever played with one player who only bet or raised the nuts, and the guy who organized the game estimated that guy lost at least $20K per year, so he's not exactly even an OMC. Even the people who most players would consider an OMC bet or call all the time with less than the nuts. Maybe only what they consider to be a strong hand, and maybe they don't bluff, but of course they bet less than the nuts.
Maybe you just thought these guys were OMCs, but they really were softplaying other regulars they were friendly with. Unless they treat a stranger the same as they do a regular, they are softplaying. Try playing at a table of players who are mostly regs, but they've never played with you before, and see if they check behind the second nuts on the river.
