Well, your notion is not 100% correct. There are indeed different teams for
the development of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD but they are extremely
friendly and toleant towards each other and often share lot of code and
modules. For example, NetBSD and FreeBSD share the same USB subsystem.

As far as my understanding goes, each of the different flavours of BSD are
developed with a particular viewset in mind. For example, NetBSD is built no
to squeeze out the last drop of juice from the hardware. Instead it is
designed to be highly portable and literally run on anything you throw at
it. Similarly OpenBSD developers prefers more to swear by security than
anything else. They are entirely different projects although not entirely
independent.

Well there are quite a few things which are mutually exclusive in nature. In
those cases you need to have tradeoffs.
