I love the OpenBSD philosophy of simplicity and correctness. Plus the devs are one of the few people who actually treat incomplete or incorrect documentation as a bug. The OS is one of the easiest to set up, use, and modify. I ran OpenBSD for a long-time on my desktop and it always was a joy to use. I eventually switched back to Arch Linux due to lack of software support and subpar performance.
Going back was really painful, Linux, to put it bluntly, is a hot mess. Documentation is terrible, systemd is annoying, and the gnu userland is bloated. It’s often unclear what the kernel supports and does not support. With OpenBSD it is very clear, every driver has a man page and you don’t have to guess what hardware the OS supports.

You basically answered yourself. This is the trade-off: quality vs quantity. This is not a flame-starter, its an observation of mere facts.
