Yeah, I've had the same issues with BSD distros over the decades, always giving those devs the benefit of the doubt that they would get around to fixing various driver bullshit for older hardware eventually, and they never do.
Meanwhile a bleeding edge distro like my Arch setup runs on a piece of shit Celeron two-threaded dual-core with 3Gb RAM old as fuck Chromebook just fine.
To be fair, 99% of BSD's probably run in a VM.
Oh, that's an interesting point. I don't know how accurate it is, but it's something I definitely hadn't considered.
If most BSDs are running on the likes of AWS and azure (which wouldn't surprise me) then it could well be true
