Agree, FreeBSD works great for its use cases.

If you delay upgrading the kernel on occasions, it is more or less fine.

Several reasons, but major ones (for me) are reliability (checksums and self-healing) and portability (no other modern filesystem can be read and written on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and macOS).
Snapshots ("boot environments") are also supported by Btrfs (my Linux installations use that so I don't have to worry about having the 3rd party kernel module to read my rootfs). Performance isn't that great either and, assuming Linux, XFS is a better choice if that is your main concern.

I have a website [1] on GitHub Pages. It's extremely easy to move out of GitHub, since it is on a domain I control, which is not the case with e.g. social profiles. That fact that the site is static makes it really easy to host it basically anywhere where a web server exists.
The site is deployed using a GitHub Actions workflow, which happens to be the only GitHub-specific feature, but a similar script could easily be written in the future for another hosting if necessary.
