Routers often run on BSD

Wish they didn't. DIY opnsense/pfsense boxes are much harder for finding compatible NICs because they're on BSD. Conversely, used enterprise-level NICs often have better drivers on Linux than Windows.

usually if it doesn't have good working drivers on BSD, there's a good reason and it's probably better that you didn't use that hardware in the first place. if it was a well-established, reliable adapter then typically it would already have a driver.

How about an HP NC523SFP? Keep in mind, this is HP enterprise stuff, not consumer level. Dual SFP+, pulled from server hardware. Doesn't work on FreeBSD.

Google is telling me that's not true and that the qlxgb driver for it has existed for years

I got in trouble in a discussion about the most popular Linux distro when I said it's obviously Android.

Thats like saying your favorite type of cheese is American, sure its technically cheese but its so processed and removed from cheese that its just not the same as mozzarella.

I made grilled cheese for my father in law in India where it was not insignificantly difficult to find "American" bread and processed cheese. It's comfort food that crosses borders and cultures.

Edit: You United Statesians got that weird cheese thing right and I will die on that hill.
