    I don't see the problem here. You can still choose from FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, PC-BSD and DragonFly BSD. Hell, just go with FreeBSD and you'll get the best of the other variants. They run pretty much all of the same good software that Linux does, without the stupidity of systemd and the other shit from Red Hat and Lennart.
