FreeBSD is a 'distribution' and Linux is a 'kernel', which in the context you're discussing is an important distinction. Pick a same-level entity to compare - Fedora? Ubuntu? Arch? Not saying that the documentation is as good, just that the question is apples vs oranges.

In the context it is clear that they used Linux in place of a 'Linux Distribution.' No one was unclear about this.

And the documentation of all Linux distros suck compared to FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Including Arch's.

They have the gnu info pages which comes with emacs. Man pages is a dying artform. With all the github projects out there they may have, if your lucky, a help dialog switch but no proper man page for their projects.

That is missing the point somewhat. The thread starter specifically linked to the FreeBSD handbook. Manual isn't [limited to] man pages here.
