It connects to proprietary services which makes it not an option. The same situation for Tuta Mail. We can talk after they publish their server source code. Proton is also not an option for the same reasons.
I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.
Wholly, entirely, irelevent. Search the number of people who use NetBSD once a week compared to the number of people who use FreeBSD once a month or OpenBSD once a month. Check the number of people who have at least installed NetBSD. See what it's used for. NetBSD is completely forgettable.
Does the BSD's heavy emphasis on code correctness, that's when the quality and security of the code will be revealed. I will watch what the OpenBSD developers say when they try to port the new code for FFMpeg.
When this comes to the BSD's, it will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference in multimedia. I bought Intel 11th gen over 10th for it's AVX-512.
Your argument is purely ideological and reflection of your lack of experience travelling various countries that do not speak English. For example, go to a country where 100% of all business, companies, and offices, use Whatsapp because it's the most stable form of phone service they have so they don't have to pay for each phone call and pay for each text message.
Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.
