it's so great and nobody porting this to the other BSDs?


FreeBSD already has capsicum which unfortunately is more complicated than pledge/unveil:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Capsicum


It’s not really more complicated; it’s just that Capsicum implements an actual security model instead of a random hodgepodge, like with seccmp or pledge, and that means one has to fit the application into that model.


Unfortunately the Linux port was never incorporated and is apparently now abandoned: https://github.com/google/capsicum-linux Then, if you're serious about capabilities, as you should be more-or-less, you might want Genode (posted here fairly recently) or something else, where they're not grafted in.
