And FreeCAD already has constraint solving in sketches. The tweet you've linked is about constraint solving in a non-default workbench (LinkStage3) that allows you to define constraints between separate parts when bringing them into a single assembly.

People use solvespace because it is easier to use, has minimal UI which encourages working directly with the part. Its non-modal, meaning no workbenches, project files, or other overhead. As someone said, they actually enjoy using it. It's good enough for many things, and the simplicity and fun make it the tool of choice for a small but growing community. People use FreeCAD because it gets the job done, but people love Solvespace because... well because its Solvespace.
