Average/most popular distros, maybe. The full range of distros are very different from each other. Consider Void, Alpine, Gentoo, Chimera, NixOS..... Different C libraries, init systems, different default command line utilities....

That's nothing. Alpine can run Glibc binaries with compat libraries. Try running a FreeBSD binary under OpenBSD.

  But only with compat libraries. Similarly FreeBSD can provide Linux compatility. Wine lets you run Windows binaries on multiple OSes.

    You can't run neither FreeBSD nor NetBSD binaries under OpenBSD.
