If you use OSB and aim for a normal door width/door height/door leaf, then you can certainly do without the UA profiles. And yes, you can also cut into one profile (at an angle) and fold down the ears – but for that you use a UW profile, not a CW profile. However, the special door lintel profiles have the advantage that they are usually pre-punched to the standard door widths, and you also have a control to ensure you can’t make a mistake with the raw measurements at the door opening.
Right, I might still use a door lintel profile after all; I find the pre-punchings quite helpful. However, that doesn’t change the fact that I also use the normal vertical profiles for the door opening since I’m sheathing with OSB.
