Do you actually use OS X?
This is not a case of sed being broken on BSD / OS X - on a Mac everything works fine out of the box, and users can use standard tools, many of which are provided, just like on any other *NIX. This is a case where the use of Gentoo would make compiling packages easier & more convenient for OS X users, and Gentoo prefers a non-standard tool; the Apple install is not "broken" and many people would not consider messing with it to be beneficial.
