They're in the release announcement linked in OP.

As I've said before, FreeBSD has issues with strong cryptographic
provenance, stemming from their choice of repo, on out to iso's and
packages. But they're getting better fast. ie: They're almost, if not
100%, reproducible builds now... see new flags to ar(1) for a simple
example, commitlogs 'reproducible'.

Vendors are cheap, including not paying devs to "do the fuck they want",
so they choose whatever licence won't get them sued (either is fine),
and whatever os has been cobbled together for their hardware, and
is known to the vendors cobbled together team. That's usually linux,
or windows.
