I tried that lately on one of installs. Using -G it removed me
from already assigned groups and left only that new one provided
(unless you specify ALL of them after -G switch)
While using -S resulted in behavior which I can remember and is
available on other systems when using -G
I say nothing against it, I just say I did not notice this particular
change somewhere in the past which is of course my fault.

There seems to be some change in behavior in OpenBSD and to be honest
do
not
know when it happened.
This is your start https://man.openbsd.org/user
which will get you to https://man.openbsd.org/usermod.8
BUT using -G resets your membership and you will be in only group you
specified.
If you want to add additional group you need to use -S instead
