That one is not a Linux problem, though - if any such software ran on BSD, the vendor would be likely to stifle it in the same way.
And otherwise, I don't know what software you're thinking of that is easier to deploy on BSD than on Linux.
To be blunt, the only reason this is a problem on Linux and not BSD is that no relevant software runs on BSD at all.

I don't understand how you arrived at that conclusion. That comment probably passed through several BSD boxes on its way to me - BGP servers, DNS servers, absolutely critical things that *BSD shines at. Even this website itself apparently:
