BSD overtake Linux or Windows in some areas

Any examples? besides the well known security, lower footprint and simplicity. genuinely curious.

ZFS? pf?

The tooling is just superior in some cases.

zfs is available on Linux just fine

Yes, finally . But only after being available in FreeBSD for years.
