What's happening to FreeBSD?

Is FreeBSD going down the path of MS Windows, i.e., a wall of complexity is a goal?

The new package-oriented updates of the OS are a major step backwards from the prior ease of keeping FreeBSD up to date.

Has there been a major change in the long-term goals of FreeBSD?
 
There is no OS.
- There is KERNEL
- There is BASE
- There are PACKAGES

The 3 together form the OS.

- Me i just build a few ports (20) with poudriere.
- Then for all ports (1500) i do "pkg update -f" , "pkg upgrade".

"freebsd-version -kru"
"pkg prime-origins"
