You and 4 other guys are moving things from Linux to FreeBSD.

The rest of the world is moving things from UNIX and Windows to Linux.

CentOS-7 rebuild RHEL sources and most all of the "important" Enterprise
Linux things are moving to RHEL.

RHEL runs the stock exchanges, the banks, etc.

Free BSD is fine and people can use it if they like ... but if you want
real Enterprise grade software, it needs to be RHEL based, that is just
the way it is.

Keep in mind that EL 7.0 is a 'dot zero release' and some of the
features need work.  It works for the majority of use cases, but some
features will need to be enhanced, and Red Hat will enhance it.  When
they do, we will build the source code and it will be in CentOS.
