Well, the meaning of "package" is maybe also a bit different: OpenBSD's
much-vaunted security claims only apply [1] to its monolithic "system"
(though note that includes a whole bunch of things that would be
packages on a lot of other OSes, AFAIUI [2][3]) and _not_ the OpenBSD
ports&packages. The latter are strictly add-ons that have not been
subjected to the same security auditing, it's not like the debian
situation, say, where the whole "system" is pretty much /made of/
packages (like the base-files .deb with the filesystem hierarchy itself...)
So I guess the idea is to exclude them by default and require an active
choice to use them, since once you start using the ports&packages system
at all (never mind installing stuff direct from upstream sources...),
you're choosing to break that assumption you're only running fully
openbsd project audited code.

"""
The packages and ports collection does NOT go through the same thorough
security audit that is performed on the OpenBSD base system. Although we
strive to keep the quality of the packages collection high, we just do
not have enough human resources to ensure the same level of robustness
and security.
