Because of the perspective many FreeBSD fans (people who like and use FreeBSD) have toward *NIX OS's.

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.
