Good question. Because of the perspective many FreeBSD fans (people
who like and use FreeBSD) have toward *NIX OS's. You said it well:

These are things, I'm guessing, that the casual Linux user may not
appreciate. Someone who has a great deal of experience with both
FreeBSD and various Linux distributions, however, probably would
appreciate these things. If I were to poll a sample of individuals
who only have experience with, say, Windows and Linux, then the
responses would likely represent opinions formed upon a wholly
different set of criteria.
