Given that the hardware notes https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.4R/hardware.html#proc-i386 explicitely claim 80486 compatibility, I'd guess this was not a consciuous decision but a blunder which wasn't caught (perhaps as hardware of that vintage is getting rare these days. That box must be old enough to buy alcohol by now?). Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
