Should oracle user be made the owner of /u01 mountpoint ?

RDBMS version:11.2.0.4

Platform : RHEL, OL 6.8, 6.9 , 7.3

My shop follows OFA as shown below.

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

Oracle Inventory : /u01/app/oraInventory

The DB installation documenation in my shop has the following steps for standalone oracle DB installations:

As root user:

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product

chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle

mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory

chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory

chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oraInventory

Instead of doing all the above steps, can't I just do the following single step ? ie. Make os user oracle the owner of /u01 ?

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
