Simplicity in all the good and bad ways. They also claim to be more secure but I’m not sure if that really applies anymore.
Many security-related things started as an OpenBSD project, like openssh. They don’t shy away from making drastic decisions for the sake of quality. For instance, in 2014 when they noticed their bluetooth stack or bluetooth as a concept sort of sucked, they didn’t rewrite it. They removed it. I don’t think it has been rewritten yet.
Is there a use case that makes openBSD desirable? I’ve heard of it but don’t know the main selling point
It makes a good router/firewall! I used to work at a place that used it in production for this purpose.

Wait, so no Bluetooth is better than bad Bluetooth?
