You forgot to mention the "completeness" of the base system. Where Linux distributions is a "mix and match" of various tools/versions, that may or may not be the same across each of them.
FreeBSD provides a solid base that "just works". There's just one version (per release).
Jails is also another great feature. Linux has cgroups and namespaces, with various tools built on top of it like Docker, LXC and LXD, but (IMO) Jails still beat them in a heartbeat by security and ease of use.
Docker has had more severe vulnerabilities in a single year (2018 IIRC) than Jails has had in it's entire lifetime.
