The problem with these lists is that they are technically correct but misleading. E.g. yes, you can run Linux software with some plugins and Windows software with WINE. Except not every software would run, you'd have to jump through hoops that very well may be too high for your level of technical expertise and worst of all, you have no idea upfront if it'll work or not. Choosing OS is a big step, but it's also a foundational step which by itself does nothing for you - you then need apps. And when you read this list, say "OK, cool, all my software is Windows but I'm sure Wine will handle that" and then discover you can't really do any work - that's be bad for you.

Same with drivers - sure, BSD supports "wide range" of hardware. However, unless you are very skilled in hardware specs, there's no way for you to know whether your card that you just bought in the store/on amazon is in this range. This is the problem that bothers people - that their card would not be supported, not the global number of supported cards.

Same for binary packages - it's nice that it has binary packaging tools, but how I know the software I want will be available in package form? E.g. on Linux I can look into Redhat or Debian package repos and see what they ship, or see download page of any major software vendor and look for "Download for Linux" button - but while I see a lot of DEB/RPM/APT/YUM distribution instructions, I rarely see any BSD instructions.
