Hehe - the main reason why FreeBSD is at the top, is because FreeBSD was free, had a much better kernel some years ago and has a more modular kernel design than Linux. FreeBSD has since lost a lot of market share and is about to turn into a niche instead of mainstream webserver OS, although it's still technically better than Linux. This is marketing... Linux is marketed well by its users. As far as I know, there hasn't been a Linux kernel vulnerability that would require a server reboot if the server is behind a firewall, so Linux will probably replace the FreeBSD servers at the top as time passes.
