>>It probably has more to do with appeasing the leftists who love Apple in our neighbor to the north. Free BSD is so anti American/capitalist...<<
Actually, I think that Apple is better at hiring US citizens than a lot of other US companies, at least in the core operating system.
I can’t argue with your perception. Free BSD/ Darwin used the noble intentions of it’s free ware contributors and exploited them. Has this changed since Al Gore took his place on Apple’s board of directors?
