I think they had to revert back to libc on macOS/iOS because those have syscall interfaces that truly are not stable (and golang found that out the hard way). I wonder if they had to do the same on BSDs because of syscall filtering.

Indeed, OpenBSD recently added hardening measures and started restricting the generic syscall interface to libc.
