With OpenBSD in particular I like it because from the default install it's got a built in web server [1] which can handle most use cases. I can pretty much just put it anywhere and trust in the secure defaults that it provides, throw my own software on that server, and then have a pretty good standard from OS level to my own software on how secure that's going to be. It doesn't change much [2]. Linux doesn't really offer that. Yeah it's got PACKAGES that offer web server solutions (apache, nginx, whatever else) but then I gotta maintain those. I find myself having to patch everything on my OpenBSD boxes way less if I stick to how it seems to be intended to be used - When all I've got to maintain are my own secure os installation + configuration, and my own software that I wrote myself, literally no packages, it's really cool.
