People are here obtusely misunderstanding more than just how FreeBSD works.
Imagine this:
"Microsoft has removed Notepad from Windows!"
"You dummy, no it hasn't; you can still get a Notepad for Windows from the Microsoft Store! Microsoft only removed it from the base installation of Windows, not from Windows as such."
Doh? If that happened, you would no longer be able to rely on any installation of Windows to have Notepad.
