--- Comment #1 from Jan Beich <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
Historic reasons:
- Lazy bindings (libpulse.so is loaded via dlopen)
- ALSA/SNDIO is good enough for playback-only
- WebRTC wasn't popular until a few years ago
- Vocal minority (bug 216383)

Firefox didn't have sound probably because the backend selected by default
wasn't configured properly. Did you read pkg-message?
