They have a lot of manpower and can spend a lot of time replacing the boot subsystems and all startup scripts every 2 releases. For FreeBSD it's not a big issue as most people don't reboot often. If it's an itch you want to scratch you're more than welcome to look into it; that seems to be the way a lot of little things get worked on around here. Unfortunately the new systemd rc system (which is pretty awful) has issues of its own including the inability to handle /usr on a separate filesystem under certain situations.[1] I honestly prefer the freebsd startup system and rc.conf. Speed isn't an issue for me right now. It's even less obvious if you just use an SSD for /. [1] http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
