I don't think the FreeBSD team has the resources to maintain multiple editions for personal and server use, nor do I think it really fits their ethos. Unless you are trying to immerse yourself in it, I would avoid FreeBSD on your personal computer and use it for what it is, one of the best designed server operating systems in the world.
I see your point, but I'd like to make an observation: most people start of running OSS on their laptops/desktops, and only then move to server/cloud setups, usually sticking to the platform they already knew. For example, I started off installing Linux Mint on my desktop machine and college, way before I ever SSHed into a server setup. By giving up on the desktop, the BSDs are making it unlikely that the next generation of devs will ever both exploring their server offerings.
