What worries me the most is them doubling down on it after it was shown to be a mess and totally insecure. I imagine to protect the corporate image. But such corporate interests don't belong in FreeBSD. Just admit you hired the wrong guy (or the right guy at the wrong time) and take the hit. Because it wasn't even the company's fault really.
The lack of serious review on the freebsd side was also a big one but I find the 'strings attached' the biggest issue myself because it made mitigation of serious issues such a problem.
The large amount of corporate kernel work in Linux is why I went for FreeBSD and to see whatever little go so wrong was worrying.
While I have some disagreements with iXsystems' pivot to ZFS-on-Linux offerings and the like, they're not the clowns that Netgate / pfSense are. 10cm to my right are TrueNAS and opnSense boxes - you won't catch me dead using pfSense in my network after the crap they've pulled.
