Apple also has a much better idea of what hardware it will be
installed on, and doesn't have to contend with the multitude of
(non)standards for PC hardware. It would probably take years to
test every possible need of various services (heavy HTTP server,
ftp, etc.) against all the permutations of available hardware.
I've got over a dozen boxes that are just fine with dangerously
dedicated disks and one that needs the boot loader tweaked even
with a non-dedicated disk. I see that as a funky BIOS, not as
FreeBSD being broken.
