So you have one example in hand and trash talked FreeBSD’s entire security team. Bold claims are fine but this is lazy.

FreeBSD isn’t secure, I suspect you’re sitting on a pile of 0 days for it?

Ask yourself why Mythos was so easily able to develop a remote STACK buffer overflow vulnerability.

Define "so easily"?

They exploited a linear stack buffer overflow. Not a write-what-where or arb write. A linear stack buffer overflow in 2026! There are at least two distinct failures there:

1. No strong stack protectors.

2. No kASLR.

That's 20-year-old exploit methodology.
