A bit of both. ;-)

Advocacy.

One can discuss if the "impressivness" of that "feature" is really what makes
it "preferable" to NetBSD.

Advocacy ;-)

Fact.

Fact. But... ;-)

Fact. But only when compared with AmigaOS.

In the same bookstore you may probably buy a book about UNIX in general what
gives you usually much wider view and applies mostly to NetBSD as well.
