It does not start the daemons because it makes *NO SENSE* starting tons of services just to have users figure out how to disable them. Let's apply your reasonning to real life: when you go shopping at OpenBSD Mall, you take a cart and chose what you put in it from what's in the store. When you go to your own store, someone hands you a cart that's already filled up with everything, and you need to put things you don't want back to the storages. Your reasonning is twisted, not to say idiotic. This has been argued already hundreds of time... So ? Because people install different things we should have all of it installed and enabled by default ? You live in wonderland. OpenBSD is secure by default, people who run it and install applications that come from elsewhere need to only worry about the security of these applications because we take care of worrying for our own. If we hit a bug, they are made aware of it and it is likely that we will find a bug in OpenBSD before they do as we actively search them. Security may be a final goal, but the immediate goal is to fix things to improve quality of the code. The side effect of this is less bugs and a better quality.
