There are few things you don't know or you deliberately forgot.
OBOR goes through economically weak countries. The aim of OBOR is to control govts through economic diplomacy. In other words, give large amounts of high interest loans to low ROI projects. So that these countries will be pinned down by Chinese. This also creates lots of jobs (directly or indirectly) for Chinese. Not only that, it helps them to convert bonds into money which can generate even more money. These countries can also act as dumping grounds for chinese goods.
Why these infra projects have high ROI!?
Simple, the aim is to milk countries when they aren't weakened by huge Chinese imports. This also results in countries loosing economic balance and most cases might end up in defaulting, so Chinese can takeover what they need and countries can keep paying high interest for the rest of infra projects.

@Hiranyaksha for providing this info at CPEC and OBOR thread
Chinese had hoped to get every major power to onboard OBOR project. Unfortunately no major economic power is ready to go ahead with China on OBOR.
I am more than happy that india didnt join.
Regarding connectivity, India has enough maritime routes to trade with every one. Regarding isolating India, this is one of the best jokes
OBOR was meant to fill the politocal goals of prc not everyone else.
