Two things about that. One is that it's not really "just now".
There other is th Since the Raspberry Pi Foundation to my knowledge isn't at all invested into the BSDs the work is done by volunteers and said volunteers might simply not use them.
I don't know the state right now, but some years ago the bottom line was that the RPi simply wasn't really a competitive device, so you had all of those other similar devices supported, that tended to be faster, or come without closed source BLOBs (firmware) required to boot, etc. So nobody got the device and ported it there for quite some time.
That was OpenBSD I think. At the same time they were very fast about running on Apple M1 and M2.
A lot of Linux work is paid for. And while the BSDs have foundations, Raspberry Pi is probably not the highest priority, since for the largest parts it's mostly hobbyist hardware.
But might also have other reasons, what I am trying to say is that this might not be as surprising given context.
Raspberry Pi is typically not the best supported piece of hardware, on OSs not supported by the Raspberry Pi foundation. Many of its more open competitors tend to work on a great variety of operating systems. Various other platforms come with hardware/driver docs from day one, not the Raspberry Pi.
