Couple of reasons. For one, I think I'd prefer if the devs of my OS
actually used it themselves, and didn't develop on macOS. I also don't
like FreeBSD's Code of Conduct. OpenBSD on the other hand -- the devs
actually dogfood that stuff. I also like their focus on security and
simplicity.

I've used every major distro under the sun. Didn't bother with Gentoo,
however. I ditched Kiss because I broke it, and the lack of packages
was starting to get pretty annoying. I can wholeheartedly recommend
Alpine -- it's about as close to a BSD as Linux gets. apk is a fantastic
package manager too.

Yes, picom works. You should be able to compile most Linux programs with
ease, with only minor changes to the Makefile.

I quite like busybox runit and OpenRC.

Yes.

Yes. I don't want a full-fledged GitHub-like alternative running, with
user accounts and the abhorrent pull-request model. cgit serves as a
decent frontend for my repos, and that's what I need.

Yes, he's my brother. :)
