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 Chocolate Bar is still around and when the fad candies go away, they will always go back to the Chocolate Bar and build the next fad off of that.
FreeBSD doesn't have too many changes that are noticeable, but they are often necessary to keep it current in today's time.
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.
...FreeBSD was selected for its balance of stability and features, a strong development community and staff expertise. All code improvements, feature additions, and bug fixes are contributed directly back to the open source community via the FreeBSD committers on our team. We also strive to stay at the front of the FreeBSD development process, allowing us to have a tight feedback loop with other community and partner developers. The result has been a positive open source ecosystem that lowers our development costs and multiplies the effectiveness of our efforts....
Significant improvements have been made to virtualization including Amazon and Azure/HyoeerV since 6 or 7 including BSDs own Bhyve. SMP and the removal of big lock and updated desktop environments on the desktop end.
Sure a Unix terminal by default looks the same since 1988 but you haven't used it for anything important.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

Much since version 6 or 7. Usually they make noticeable updates

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.
