But when I=E2=80=99m thinking of buying a machine for ~$1000 or even = much more , I expect some=20 useful features of it. Being able to run fbsd-builds from MacOS is one = of those features.

Ha Ha..while also a lot = of SFP-cables still lying around here I=E2=80=99m actually so happy that = they=E2=80=99re no more in use :-) 10 GB SFP+ vs. 40GB thunderbolt 3 =E2=80=A6 well, many things to consider when we think about what to waste our = money on next :-)=E2=80=A6.
