One of the contributors of REUSEPORT support is a long time Dragonfly BSD developer. No broken Linux implementation there.

It makes the implementation interesting for Dragonfly, at least. So why not do it?

And if it's offloading some work onto the kernel, having a popular tool support it may push Linux developers to fix the support.

Obviously they are telling you that *BSD is better than Linux and that you should switch.
