FreeBSD is focused on being a traditional Unix system. Unlike a lot of Linux distribution like Ubuntu who try to be desktop or workstation that they want to compete against OS X and Windows. FreeBSD mostly stays the Pure Unix system for others to work off of.
FreeBSD is the Chocolate Bar Operating Systems. Where most of the new candy out there will be based on a Chocolate bar, they will have Nuts, Caramel, nugget.... That will try to make the candy more complex for peoples particular liking, the Standard C
Maybe not the best metaphor, then (even if dark chocolate bars are not vegan due to milk, and fair trade goods are often sub-par) - but the point is still made. Your "chocolate bar OS" is going to become rubbish.
Consider: your metaphor was to compare FreeBSD to the most standard, generic, and widely accepted sort of candy bar, a chocolate bar. The vast majority of plain ol' chocolate bars are milk chocolate.
Regardless of the milk content in a dark chocolate bar, this is no longer the standard. And a lot of people don't much like them - they are bitter and yucky to many.
Secondly, if morons don't like dark chocolate bars then it's not the duty of the candy companies to taint their dark chocolate with milk, it's the morons who should buy milk chocolate bars instead.

Well, until they adopt a new CoC.
They your chocolate bar will be a gluten free, vegan, free trade, carob chunk.
It won't satisfy, but that's ok, because it'll taste really bad, too.

A dark chocolate bar is Gluten Free, Vegan, and full of Carbs. Free Trade wouldn't effect its taste.

That was not my own metaphor as I was not the OP.
